Not everyone has a loving, warm, secure experience as they grow up. Unfortunately, far too many children are victims of trauma. It can stem from abuse or neglect, major family changes, or even witnessing a traumatic event at a young age.

Complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) is a condition that develops due to prolonged exposure to trauma, often in childhood or within abusive relationships. Healing from C-PTSD is not a linear process and it varies for each individual.

Ever feel like your past is haunting you, no matter how hard you try to move on? Complex trauma is a tricky beast that can mess with your mind, body, and relationships in ways you might not even realize.
