PTSD

Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) stems from prolonged trauma, often in childhood, where safety and love were inconsistent. Unlike single-event PTSD, it disrupts emotional development and relationships, leading to shame, fear of abandonment, and difficulty trusting others. Survivors may struggle with emotional instability, hypervigilance, or dissociation. Healing is possible through trauma-informed therapy and supportive, safe relationships that help rebuild trust and self-worth.
