How to Recognize and Treat Complex PTSD

Blog Post Description

“Complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) is a condition similar to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but with additional features that make it more complicated to treat. This includes having problems with self-image, managing your emotions, and trusting others.
