What Is C-PTSD Treatment and How Does It Help?
C-PTSD (Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) is a condition resulting from prolonged or repeated trauma, typically inside of relationships with other people, and often beginning in childhood. Unlike PTSD, which is usually triggered by a single event, C-PTSD affects how you feel about yourself, others, and the world without pinpointing one single incident or specific memory.
Treatment for C-PTSD addresses emotional flashbacks that don't often seem like a "past" related problem, shame and self-blame, chronic fear, and relational difficulties. We use a blend of effective methods such as Art Therapy, TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), somatic practices, and personalized care to help you heal.
Wondering, What is the difference between PTSD and C-PTSD? While PTSD stems from a single trauma, C-PTSD is often linked to ongoing trauma, such as childhood neglect or abuse, and requires a more nuanced treatment approach.
What Are C-PTSD Symptoms?
Do you wonder What does it feel like to have C-PTSD? Common C-PTSD symptoms may include:
-
Emotional flashbacks (feeling like something is happening again, without visuals or direct memories)
-
Chronic feelings of emptiness or worthlessness
-
Difficulty maintaining relationships, chronic loneliness or strain
-
Persistent anxiety or hypervigilance & overthinking
-
Avoidance behaviors
-
A deep sense of being “stuck” in the past - ruminating on old "stuff"
Recognizing these patterns is the first step toward finding the best treatment for C-PTSD that meets your specific needs.
