Trauma Rewired

What is CPTSD?


Listen Later

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.
