What If... Just Maybe... HEAR ME OUT!

Day-to-day life is often more difficult for those of us that have suffered (or in the middle of healing) with CPTSD (Complex PTSD) than for those with PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) because CPTSD typically involves more chronic, pervasive, and relational trauma, and its symptoms affect more areas of functioning. I will also share some tips and tricks that may help your day be a bit less overwhelming.  Here’s a breakdown of why daily life tends to be more challenging with CPTSD: 🔁  1. Chronicity of Trauma PTSD often develops from a single traumatic event (e.g., accident, natural disaster, assault). CPTSD results from prolonged, repeated trauma, usually in childhood or captivity-like situations (e.g., abuse, neglect, trafficking, war captivity). ❗Chronic trauma rewires survival responses into baseline personality traits and identity patterns. 🧠 2. Broader Symptom Scope CPTSD includes all the symptoms of PTSD plus: Affect dysregulation: extreme mood swings, emotional num...

And I promise to keep being a v...

   Understanding CPTSD Imprinting The child you once were still shapes the adult you’ve become. CPTSD Imprinting names the hidden program of trauma that scripts identity, body, and soul — often long before we can name it. This article bridges science, survival, and spirit to reveal what really happens, why it’s often misdiagnosed, and how restoration begins. What CPTSD Imprinting Means CPTSD (Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) is formally recognized in the ICD-11. It extends beyond PTSD by including disturbances in self-organisation: difficulties regulating emotion, a deeply negative self-concept, and relational collapse. CPTSD Imprinting is my working model that explains how this condition is “installed” over time. It emphasizes the programmatic nature of trauma — how chronic coercion, betrayal, and patterned threat don’t just wound in the moment but leave lasting imprints on the nervous system, the body, and the sense of self. Mind: conditioned shame, looping thoughts, ...
