Have you ever heard of Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD)? The World Health Organization Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse conducted a study in 2016 that discovered the distinction between PTSD and C-PTSD. People with complex PTSD tend to notice feelings of trauma coming up more often, have more difficulty controlling emotions, are more likely to dissociate, you feel physical symptoms related to your past trauma, are more sensitive to triggers. Watch this video to see if you relate to some of these signs. Disclaimer: If you recognize yourself relating to some of these signs, we hope that you use the knowledge towards your mental health journey and getting professional support. #cptsd Writer: Brie Cerniglia Script Editor: Caitlin McColl Script Manager: Kelly Soong VO: Amanda Silvera ( / amandasilvera ) Animator: Sun Biscuit YouTube Manager: Cindy Cheong REFERENCES BetterHelp.
