Episode 7 - CPTSD & COFFEE: Boundaries importance and tips for building the skill!

Welcome to CPTSD with Karen P., where we talk about the hard stuff in a soft way. I’m a therapist who works with complex trauma, and this podcast is like sitting down with someone who gets it — no pressure, no fixing, just real conversation. Each week, we unpack what it’s like to live with (and slowly heal from) complex PTSD — the messy thoughts, the overreactions that make total sense, the nervous system spirals, and the moments of quiet progress that often go unseen. Whether you’re in therapy, thinking about starting, or just trying to make it through the day with a little more self-compassion — this space is for you. Pour your coffee (or tea, or whatever gets you through), and let’s talk.
