The Complex PTSD Workbook: How to Overcome Traumatic Stress Symptoms and Heal From Childhood Trauma

Complex PTSD may be diagnosed in adults or children who have repeatedly experienced traumatic events, such as violence, neglect or abuse.

Complex PTSD is thought to be more severe if:

• the traumatic events happened early in life • the trauma was caused by a parent or carer • the person experienced the trauma for a long time • the person was alone during the trauma • there's still contact with the person responsible for the trauma

As it may take years for the symptoms of complex PTSD to be recognised, a child's development, including their behaviour and self-confidence, can be altered as they get older.

Adults with complex PTSD may lose their trust in people and feel separated from others.

The symptoms of complex PTSD are similar to symptoms of PTSD, but may include:

• feelings of shame or guilt • difficulty controlling your emotions • periods of losing attention and concentration (dissociation) • physical symptoms, such as headaches, dizziness, chest pains and stomach aches • cutting yourself off from friends and family • relationship difficulties • destructive or risky behaviour, such as self-harm, alcohol misuse or drug abuse • suicidal thoughts

This audiobook will guide you through a proven step-by-step PTSD healing process to live the life you want.
