Your description about "cptsd is largely neglected and misunderstood" probably describes how every person with cptsd feels. I went to an NHS mental health appointment and said I thought I had it, the nurse said there's no such thing and I'll never recover from the trauma and will just have to learn to live with it! Set my recovery back by 6years!

It’s always funny when a doctor or nurse pretends something doesn’t exist simply because they don’t know about it or it hasn’t been fully accepted by the medical community, even if there’s substantial research on it. Really sucks to ever have anything like that happen but especially when you’re dealing with trauma. Hope things are getting better for you. 💚

​@user-fz7qr2iv6o i know im not a psychologist so i dont want to be ignorant and give you a diagnosis...but im just gonna say that i went through a similar experience, and got diagnosed with cptsd last year. I went and looked up information about resouces in the area i live to start the process of trying to heal, cause i couldnt function. Since we're both here at the same video explaining cptsd, it is possible if you feel these symptoms resonate with your experience, but its always best to speak to a licened health proffesional for the best outcome. I started out by looking up information of my insurance and then reached out to mental health offices that specialized in this, but there are also places that help people that dont have insurance as well. It can be hard and take time to find a place and therapist that works well for you but please dont give up!

You’re not alone 🥹

I have c-PTSD and I was recently ‘triggered’ (in quotes because I really don’t like using that word; to me, it connotes weakness) and even all of these years later, the intense abuse from childhood which spilled into adulthood, can cause me to unravel a bit. But I’m healing all the time and I thank you for your explanation and differentiation. Most people hear PTSD and say therapy, and while different therapy modalities are helpful, most psychologists & psychiatrists cannot touch on something they do not understand or are not allowed to or willing to explore. I found traditional therapy useless. In fact, it only took about three sessions to convince me that it was all me in the relationship and I should ignore all of my impulses because I can’t believe myself due to horrific and sustained childhood abuse. The decision I made after that based on this professional’s personal opinion almost ruined my life. Because of this, I stay alone and seek no therapy. It’s not the therapist’s fault, I didn’t have to listen to her. And I’m not unhappy. I’m not unfulfilled. I am, however, sad that there are so many of us who’ve suffered as children tremendous pain & heartache and the treatments that could be had are not offered. Maybe not treatments so much as just being understood. But better yet, we should figure out what causes some people to harm others (not all of them were abused themselves); is it evil, is it lack of empathy (psychosis)? Regardless, until the bad element is eradicated, people like me will continue to exist so I do not see why there is not a professional distinction between them so that people with c-PTSD can get the targeted help they need (and I don’t necessarily mean medication; I, for one, am against Big Pharma).

I have found that listening to all of the advice given on KZread and jumbling them up to suit myself does help to a certain extent. Also choosing to be in the company of others who understand and not being in the company of those who don't have a clue also helps. It has also destroyed a lot of my life but learning to toughen up with those who couldn't be bothered to have a clue and saying to myself "it's not me, it's their opinion" does help. I do have areas that need work. Not allowing other people's behaviours become my trigger is the biggest one to overcome.

Hi everyone I'm having very serious problems with mostly family difficulties and misunderstanding. The lack of support caused me to slowly drift away wondering why growing up as a child witnessing and overhearing everything. My parents fighting over whatever they come up with refusing to do as I tell them. No freedom, no acceptance on my wishes. This has turned my life upside down feeling confused, lost, always overthinking and remembering that something.

Sorry the second you said emdr i had to pause, my therapist used to do emdr with me in a very basic form and it worked well, i was diagnosed informally with cptsd but even so I've been living functional for about 6 years unmedicated & emdr really did help

Glad to hear Emdr was helpful!

The narcissistic family that I was born into caused me to develop Cptsd. The abuse starts in elementary school. A few years go by and in 6th grade my symptoms of Cptsd come along. Suddenly my whole personality changed. I had so much Anger than before and I felt like I was on the edge. (hyper vigilant) I was dealing with panic attacks and flashbacks. Mostly stemming from abuse/fresh bad memories. Like right after an Intense family argument which escalated to yelling. Then afterwards we all avoided each other. The types of abuse being verbal, mental, emotional from my narcissistic dad and golden child brother. Not to mention all the gaslighting and constant yelling towards me. My mom is a covert narcissist so her abuse was harder to notice but it was the same nonetheless. She was the victim and I was the “bad child”. She spread all of these lies to my brother. She brainwashed him against me and she made me jealous of him from the completely different treatment we received. When I was younger I knew all of them were against me and It’s wasn’t that difficult to notice. Anyways I’m glad that now I have diagnoses that explain everything that I was confused about. My autism and Cptsd mainly. I’m a young adult now and they can’t blame me for anything anymore. I 100% know when I’m right vs when I’m wrong. I’m thankful for my boyfriend that I met in 2023 he helped me by giving/showing me the love I deserve. He needed my support as much as I needed his. I despised dating before because I didn’t want a relationship with an abuser. I wasn’t even searching and somehow we still met lol. He’s helped me heal my inner child and depression a lot. He got me video games I used to play or never got the chance to play. Things I never asked for as a kid because of “financial issues”.

For anyone who comes across this I have been diagnosed with both in my life time and I do have CPTSD. If you are able call every trauma informed therapist you can and ask them what modalities they use and what do they know about childhood trauma. You will usually know if the person is educated about it. Most of my CPTSD is surrounded by narcissistic abuse from grandma, mom and brother. I have cut ties with everyone and have been doing intense reprocessing using EMDR and IFS. It's rewiring my brain. I am better than I was 7 months ago. There is healing! When I would see people say that, I didn't believe it and thought I was too broken. There are a lot of therapists who do know about the differences. I also have had terrible therapists, but I knew right away and I truly believe the reason they won't put it in the DSM is bc it would turn into a pamphlet instead of a book. Much love and healing to everyone! My only regret is I wish I would have done it sooner, I've lost years of my life being in survival mode 24/7!

Currently going through trauma therapy, including EMDR for CPTSD. So far I’ve found it helpful but only just getting into the nitty gritty of the traumas so only time will tell. Helps to have a good therapist and I’m lucky mine is fantastic. But it took a lot to get this therapy on the NHS. Worth the fight though

Great talk. The most potent trio of modalities that l have used to overcome CPTSD are sustained and regular Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR), deep tissue massage, and regular micro dosing with Psilocybin. Body based therapies in the present are absolutely more potent than "head based". Of course unconditional love and unwavering support are invaluable at the same time, but recovery and optimistic futures are entirely possible 😀

yes, yes, yes. A lot of people get good results from heavy lifting (weight training). I've always gotten "trigger recovery" from hiking and horse training (a system designed by a famous Portuguese trainer who believed that horses were souls equal before God and therefore only a mutual partnership was appropriate training) and having a small flock of sheep. Lots of heavy lifting in a natural setting and large movements of the body in addition to work that required (or rather, invited) concentrated focus.

I have learned not to try and think through the why’s or the pain associated with the why’s. Instead I try and simply acknowledge the flash backs, the confusion and the fear, paranoia and mostly the anger as symptoms of a trauma I found a way to survive. The question…are my reactions reasonable? I do not give a Damn about the why. The why will never go away. But my recognition of myself, my ability to separate myself from the why does matter. That separation from constant suffering matters. It gives me space to decide if my reactions are appropriate or not. And yes I fail sometimes. But I have found over time I have become more reflective upon my reactions. More forgiving of myself and those around me. R

Truth be told I have practiced or participated in yoga meditation and exercise to some degree for the last 20 years, however, I am still repeating and avoiding, the hardest part for me is allowing myself to communicate with others, at all. So seeking group help is a huge step for me, but it must be done. Also this whole attachment style and everything, I will heavily look into. Post Traumatic Growth I will study. Are there any studies on women in particular in their perimenopausal phase with CPTSD?

I live in New Zealand I’m not sure if the Drs know about cptsd . Thank you for the information very helpful

How is your back injury doing now? I'm trying to address childhood trauma because I've had a back injury that hascaused the most stressful 18 months of my life. It took dozens of hours and months of missed time off work before they finally even approved getting an MRI. Now with a recovery time of another 3-12 months, I'm going out of my mind not being able to work, workout, and organize my apartment. Now I can't even pick up 6 lbs, and I used to be a champion powerlifter (years ago). And now on the umpteenth month of being bedridden and unable to use the gym as an escape or get lost in my work, I have to face my demons head on, clear headed, and weaker than I've ever felt... Back injuries can cause so much anguish and because back pain is so common, they often don't take it seriously. I did find it very interesting that the surgeon told me that it was of utmost importance that my anxiety was under conrol before and after the operation. I had to tell them "if it wasn't for the last year and a half of trying to get the HMO to take the injury seriously, it would be under control. And I can't get any closer to controlling it until I'm actually healing and not fighting with you guys to take care of the problem". I was overly nice to them, basically a pushover until I reached my breaking point and started filing complaints. It says your comment was 5 months ago, I really hope that it has healed. ❤

I was going to ask a question (is the distinction important because treatments are different?) but I'm glad I told my ADD self "no, sit, watch, listen." You went on to explain the CPTSD is recurring traumas, often similar kinds, in the context of relationships. That's enough. That's too close to the bone for me. Neglect and bullying. Social isolation because of ableist prejudice. Exclusion from social and vocational participation. These are symptoms of living with an obvious physical disability. Everyone I've ever talked to about it tells me it's in my head, that I'm the problem because it keeps happening to me. After 50 years that's how my head reads it too.

Thank you for the video! What does the research say as far as effectiveness of EMDR treatment for people with pervasive childhood trauma? I'm curious as I have been diagnosed with CPTSD but I've been unable to find a therapist at the mental health facility I go to that is trained in EMDR treatment and have struggled to find therapy productive for addressing the core issues of my mental health. Even though I've made significant progress over the years it feels somewhat superficial compared to the deep rooted issues of my trauma, sense of self, self esteem, view of the world, that probably drive some of my unhealthy behaviors. I know you can't really give direct medical advice but any general advice for people in my situation would be appreciated.

I am sorry sir, C PTSD is based upon long term trauma starting at a young age when brains are developing. This means that true C PTSD patients are hard wired from an early age. This also can explain the common miss diagnosis of such patients. As the your amplify of the veteran. Under the above paradigm an individual with CPTSd can join the. Military, see battle and compound their existing condition. This condition is tough to sort out from a number of diagnoses the individual my be presenting.

I am on my own mission to figure out what is happening to me. During my childhood I had multiple traumas with physical, mental, and sexual traumas. I was diagnosed with PTSD. I have episodes of dissociation weekly, sometimes daily. The psychologist who diagnosed me here in America had me do multiple tests over 2 months. He diagnosed ‘PTSD’ and ‘major nuerocognitive disorder’. I have short term memory loss and sometimes long term memory loss. Im wondering if this could be associated with CPTSD. How that works, if these can tend to go hand in hand. How the brain connects these things. Anyone have an answer for that or am I way off? I’d like the correct diagnosis, instead of an overarching diagnosis of ‘major nuerocognitive disorder’, which doesn’t really explain WHY I have memory loss or why I so often have dissociative symptoms. Thanks to anyone’s advice.

Dissociation is highly related to ptsd and cptsd. Especially if it started early, dissociation is a coping mechanism for trauma, a way to "check-out" from what the brain cannot assimilate. Especially in childhood, often the carer is the abuser, whether intentional or not and the child Brian ( adult brain often as well) cannot hold the cognitive dissonance of this person protects me and also hurts me. They need the parent/abuser to survive, so the brain blanks out the abusive so the child can. Keep a somewhat normal storyline. Otherwise the questions of who am I, do I deserve it, etc are too much for a little one to take in. This dissociation obviously causes memory to be spotty during episodes, and if this was your coping mechanism as a child, it bleeds into adult hood- resulting in "memory" issues and yes sometimes identity issues also. Irene Lyon has some great, easily understood content on these topics, highly recommend looking her up to answer your questions.

It is not :/ the dsm only gets updated every several years. Some are speculating the dsm 6 will be released sometime after 2025

My trauma is both generational and experienced as well as generationally reinforced, as the last Wahpetonwan Dakotah ''sioux'' and the child of a three tour viet nam volounteer combat veteran. i say i have no more feelings on the subject. only feelings that come out sideways. however my children know when im lying

I suffer from PTSD/ BLPD due to being a sexually abused survivor. 🙏❤️🇨🇦

It is something you can do virtually as long as the therapist is licensed in your state. You can use the search engine at Emdria.org to find a therapist

I really think it's highly questionable to call yourself "doctor" in the medical field, when you aren't a medical doctor. You just have a doctorate in Social Work, so calling yourself a doctor is misleading and somewhat deceptive.

Anyone with a doctorate degree is considered a doctor.

That may be the case, but context is everything. When talking about health (like in this context) all professionals know that they must be clear when identifying what their doctoral degree is in. It is important to distinguish, as medical doctor or psychologists, for example, all have very, very different areas of knowledge. Not doing so in this context is misleading. I should know, since I myself have a terminal degree in psychology. @@jenniferhampton5171

I love your video but just a tip coming from PTSD, skip them fu...n BELL SOUNDS in the background if you're makin a video about PTSD because loads of PTSD people will check your videos. I'm just speaking my opinion, what you say is lovely but I fuckin hate those sounds to bits. (No hate to you indended, just the sounds). Weirdest trigger ever. Never had that problem before. But seems like you talking about the PTSD and the bell sounds going off at the same time seems to trigger everything at once. Hope you have a nice day mate, what you do is great.

PTSDs have always existed.

Would U think a woman who was raped many times by many different people as an ADULT would constitute CPTSD? I am think about physical abuse such as being strangled, thrown down the stair, thrown out of a 2nd story window & having their head slayed on the floor many times. Along with that being gang raped by 7 different men 7 being video taped as it occurred. being raped by a policeman at gun point. or being suffocated 7 being raped. having the rapist coming back again 7 again to try to see U again. Or being stalked, by someone for over 7 yrs. Being stalked by other men for several yrs too. Add to that childhood problems being in & out of a different place every day for your 1st 5 yrs. After that staying in a place for 11 yrs. where U were slapped, in the face many times & yelled at by the person running the boarding school. There is much more such as being raped by a boyfriend's best friend, getting pregnant, not being able to get an abortion, not being able to deliver the baby so being forced to have a C section & offer to have your tubes tied as if it was your fault for being rapped & getting pregnant!! Wouldn't all this happening to a person create CPTSD as an ADULT? I have not found anything affordable that helps people from trauma. Most treatment that might help do NOT accept insurance. Many people do NOT believe in GOD so that doesn't work for them either. many people can NOT do Yoga due to the many bone, muscle & joint problems. There doesn't seem to B anything affordable that really helps heal trauma quickly. What U suggest regarding medication is difficult for someone with trauma since it is difficult to focus, old still, etc..

I assumed you’re in America where people are just left to suffer. I hope you can get the therapy you need. My daughter has been raped many times and beaten. She has autism and is mental hospital right now. She’s a mess. I truly hope you can access some therapy..

Continue to focus on getting help, try meditation (which you can learn how to do on-line), and envision getting help and how calming, freeing and peaceful you will feel with help...do this daily or more. You can manifest help in this way. So sorry you have gone through such horrors. ❤

@@scarba That is very disturbing to hear. But I am sure that people took advantage of her just like they took advantage of me. Hers was a bit more complicated. But the end result was the same. You are correct I am in American but I’m in Italian & all my family is from Italy except my mother. There’s lots more to the story but I’m too tired to tell it all. Maybe I will be writing my book soon. Hope she’s getting good quality help. Most of the people that I’ve had in my life to try and help me with worthless. I seem to know more than they did about the kinds of disorders he can get from being abused at that level. Actually it’s kind of scary

@@bondjane007 I am disturbed to know these psychopathic men live among us. She’s still in hospital banging her head till it bleeds. She trusts everyone unfortunately and has been exploited in friendships as well. I have read 90% of autistic women are abused. She can’t process or understand what happened to her or verbalize it properly. In Germany people say, little children, little worries, big children big worries. It’s unfortunately true. I wish you well on your recovery. I’m so sorry it had to happen to you. Find some good people.

@@scarba I have a scary story for you. Today I was walking on a very busy Street in Santa Monica And I was looking at something that a real estate place about my friend's property and I didn't realize there was a 6-inch step and I missed the ground and I fell on my left hip where I had the surgery 8 months ago. I hit my left knee my left arm my left hip & whiplash my neck. So when I feel bizarrely there was a friend of mine walking down the street and saw me fall and doesn't weigh anything. So it was a miracle that he was there but what was so depressing was that not a single person on the street and there were lots of people walking by came to Help me get off the sidewalk. And I fell on my THR. Anyhow I did a lot of walking had some pain pills with me so I took them and I'm in the ER now finally made it there because the Urgent Care place I went to were not very helpful and didn't even want to see me and then I wasn't sure they would take my insurance so I had to walk even further in total pain. But I thought about people the war and they walk on broken ankles and broken legs so I figured I could walk with cracks or whatever I did. But the most disparaging thing about it was that nobody offered to help and the only person that did help with someone who happened to be a friend of mine and knew me. So it made me very sad that people have gotten to the place that they just don't care about other people. It's going to be difficult to find nice people to be there as a friend. It's also very difficult to trust people once you've been through so many tramas and abuses! I'm very sad to hear about this girl. I'm guessing that she's an empath and of course she has issues that she is facing which is a burden and complicated her situation! I hope you're there for her. I hope I didn't break anything! What was so sad that not a single person came to help my friend who just happened to be passing by and then I fell.. That is a very sad statement about mankind there were plenty of people walking by and instead of helping they walked around us!! It's so sad about these things happen to people So often there's wolf in sheep clothing and you can't tell. I'm still in the ER hoping I didn't break anything.
