What Is Complex PTSD (CPTSD)? Pete Walker | Dr Judith Herman | 7 Diagnostic Criteria

In today's video I talk about what is complex PTSD, complex post traumatic stress disorder or CPTSD. I draw upon the work of Dr Judith Herman, Pete Walker and Dr Gabor Mate. What is it? And what are the seven diagnostic criteria for Complex PTSD? I have been reading Pete Walker's book in more depth recently and have been struck by how similar boarding school syndrome is to complex PTSD. Reading the seven diagnostic criteria from the psychiatrist, Dr Herman, really helped me to make that connection. If you would like to me to talk more about complex PTSD please do let me know. Warm regards, Piers ---Piers is an author and a men's transformational coach and therapist who works mainly with trauma, boarding school issues, addictions and relationship problems. He also runs online men's groups for ex-boarders, retreats and a podcast called An Evolving Man. He is also the author of How to Survive and Thrive in Challenging Times.
