Living with Complex PTSD

-Liz-Senior Contributor

Living with Complex PTSD

Hi all,

I'm writing a memoir about living with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I ultimately want it to be useful to warriors going through this torment and beneficial to supporters who want to know more. What areas would both supporters and survivors like more information on? What questions do you have? What would you like to ask but hesitate to question? Is there anything you wish you had known sooner? No offence will be taken as long as it is written with respect. Looking forward to hearing questions from you all. Cheers, Liz

Hi
I read that you are editing just wanted to ask if you have a section that speaks on life after active CPTSD. I've done extensive therapy and was successful in no longer having active CPTSD symptoms. I'm learning how to be me without the active part. Curious if you've written on this.

Re: Living with Complex PTSD

@janedoe2 could you please elaborate what you mean by "active" it's not a phrase I've use in terms of CPTSD before so it's unfamiliar but I would be grateful for you to explain what you mean by it. 🙂

Hi Liz

What I mean by active is severe symptoms of CPTSD.
