Understanding PTSD: Healing from the childhood trauma
Living with complex posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) presents significant challenges, which can make daily life feel like a constant battle. These challenges can cause difficulties in getting out of bed, performing routine tasks, maintaining a normal appearance for those around them, while facing the internal struggle. These challenges can become overwhelming and utterly exhausting, often leading to feelings of inadequacy or vulnerability. What may appear as a simple, straightforward task to someone without complex PTSD can feel like an impossible task to those who live with this condition. The internal turmoil and emotional burden associated with complex PTSD can also make it challenging to seek support from healthcare professionals, or other people in the community.
