What is PTSD & C-PTSD?

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop after experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening event. Symptoms may include:

• Flashbacks or intrusive memories

• Nightmares

• Hypervigilance or feeling "on edge"

• Emotional numbness or detachment

• Avoidance of reminders of the trauma

Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) often results from prolonged or repeated trauma, such as childhood abuse or ongoing relational trauma. In addition to the symptoms of PTSD, C-PTSD may involve:

• Persistent feelings of shame or guilt

• Difficulty trusting others

• Emotional dysregulation

• Challenges in relationships and self-worth
