The Complex Trauma Podcast

CPTSD vs PTSD (And, Why You Keep Getting Misdiagnosed)


Listen Later

If you've been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, or bipolar - but nothing quite fits - you might actually be dealing with Complex PTSD. 

In this episode, I break down the crucial differences between PTSD and CPTSD, why so many trauma survivors get misdiagnosed, and why traditional therapy approaches often miss the mark for complex trauma. 

Be sure to listen to my interview with Dr. Judith Herman next!
