Most people are familiar with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), an anxiety disorder that results from a traumatic event, such as a natural disaster or car accident.
However, a closely related condition called complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) is becoming more widely recognized by doctors in recent years. CPTSD results from repeated trauma over months or years, rather than a single event. The symptoms of CPTSD usually include those of PTSD, plus an additional set of symptoms.
You might avoid situations or activities, such as large crowds or driving, that remind you of the traumatic event. This also includes keeping yourself preoccupied to avoid thinking about the event.

Very interesting. I’d say repeatedly being bullied or being emotionally abused by parents are huge reasons for people to develop CPTSD

The lady looking sad while doing the dishes, thats me everyday having these emotional flashblacks.

@eileensianez6766

My mom always made negative remarks about everything from my hair to my feet. It never ended. Narcissistic abuse by a drug addicted, alcoholic were beatings and mocking. Lies about things i never did. She's dead now 3 yrs. and I've never been happier!

Flashbacks can also cause a person to feel themselves shutting down, unable to move or communicate, with the need to curl up and retreat from the world. This was my response, sometimes it would be caused by just a word or a facial expression, leaving me feeling utterly confused with the world. It has taken a few years of difficult work and going deep to figure out why and analyse the cause, however it has been worth the struggle, flashbacks are now few and far between, I am able to deal with in minutes rather than days. The above Course by Richard allowed me to make huge progress, understanding brings a freedom and validation, allowing us to move forward knowing we are not the problem.

There's a bright side! All these years of being alone has left me realizing that the negative triggers I used to experience are less affecting... One day i'll join the world again! In this life or the next :)

My father was in a very horrible war and came home an alcoholic and a drug addict. He beat me and my family up every single day and locked us in closets for days. Once when he was drunk he loaded his rifle and started shooting at my mother. She was running as fast as she could and the bullets kept missing her because he couldn't aim that good. This went on every single day for 14 years. I have autism and I can remember almost every single day of my life. It's so hard to remembering EVERYTHING!

Just learning about this as it is my circumstance from a very young age. As an old man now, I wish I'd seen your content 40+ years ago. Your doing great work sir, I thank you so much and hope you are safe.

Long suspected that I experience CPTSD. The clarification that emotional flashbacks denote CPTSD is really helpful. I’ve never seen them as flashbacks but purely my emotional reactivity. I realise that I’m like a wounded animal and lash out at people that try to get close, not necessarily in an outwardly aggressive way but through a predatory internal voice. I emotionally cut off from people without being conscious of doing it. I find it almost impossible to trust anyone including myself. I try to work on this but it feels like 2 steps forward 1.8 steps back. But I am tenacious and will continue to strive.

Learning about the memories not having pictures just alleviated a lot of my confusion. Yes I resonate with this 1000% The strong waves of emotion can make it very hard to function effectively.

@novellacruce6128 4 года назад

Yes! This is definitely me and I have been working diligently for years to reduce or eliminate the symptoms. The way people are currently acting in public has triggered me intensely.

@LimitlessThinker 4 года назад

This is me. Cptsd. But I also have PTSD. I am a Veteran.

Look at you going all animated here!! Great move Richard! It's truly a wonderful thing to witness you reaching out to the world and teaching and giving hope where some may have never thought there was hope for them. You rock brotha!!

@terihammond5932 4 года назад

Definitely me! I have found your videos incredibly helpful, and I wanted to say thank you to you for everything that you do. I have been working on my own recovery for almost 3 years, due to a lack of doctors with qualifications necessary to treat c-ptsd in my area. It can sometimes be incredibly overwhelming and confusing, and videos like yours go a long way toward clearing up some of the murkiness.

This man is a hero. He is so generous to share this information, which he clearly has studied vigorously to gain, to help others. You can tell he knows the material inside and out.
