Complex PTSD vs PTSD
PTSD often follows one frightening event. Complex PTSD usually grows from trauma that was repeated or lasted a long time, often in childhood or in close relationships, and it adds lasting difficulties with emotions, self-worth and relationships. The World Health Organization lists complex PTSD as its own diagnosis in ICD-11.
I work with “small t” and “Big T” trauma, relational and developmental trauma, and PTSD, including trauma related to military or combat experiences.
