What is CPTSD?

Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is only recently beginning to be recognized thanks to the Healing Revolution but its roots actually go back to Freud in the 1800's. Complex CPTSD sets itself apart from PTSD  by five distinguishing trauma responses and likely stems from an adverse childhood experience, a developmental trauma, a failed environment. With brain science coming so far in the past twenty years we are now more clear about how trauma affects a developing young brain.  Stress, trauma, and unresolved stress responses create a dysfunctional brain. When our bodies are more stressed it can create a chronic illness or disease state within the body. It's all just one giant loop.  How can we understand this in our own life?  Maybe you will find yourself within Jennifer and Elisabeth's stories or their clients' stories. And understand what you may have thought was a personality trait is actually a trauma response.    This conversation discusses What is  CPTSD The difference between CPTSD & PTSD Dr. Judith Herman, Dr. Pete Walker Emotional Flashbacks, Toxic Shame, Self Abandonment, Inner Critic, and Social Anxiety Possible causes of CPTSD including early childhood sexual trauma  Our experiences with CPTSD  Emotional neglect is a core wound Development of the fundamental belief system  Babies don't have complex understanding of the world around them  All abandonment is self abandonment  Working with your nervous system to build awareness and recognize trauma responses  Nervous system regulation  How does CPTSD challenge society?      This conversation is the beginning of a long conversation about CPTSD as we will be breaking down its components individually.    Head to https://calendly.com/traumarewired/consultation for a consultation to identify trauma responses in your own life and learn how to train your nervous system to move out of behaviors that aren't serving you!   Work with Jennifer:     https://linktr.ee/traumarewired   Instagram FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use   My exclusive offer: www.athleticgreens.com/rewired Interested in becoming a Neurosomatic Intelligence Coach please visit  www.neurosomaticintelligence.com  Work with Elisabeth:   Get in on Elisabeth's exclusive Free Video Training - her proven step-by-step system to ZAP stress, RESOLVE anxiety, STOP pain, DROP unwanted behaviors and MAGNIFY clarity and focus.    It's easier than you think.
