Seelisch und körperlich missbraucht: kPTBS | no stigma!

For Inga, it's a life of fear, triggers, and the search for stability. 🤯 The 29-year-old suffers from complex post-traumatic stress disorder (cPTSD). Triggers for seizures or flashbacks are primarily medical, yet Inga is dependent on the healthcare system due to many physical problems. In this no stigma! episode, she talks about why a normal everyday life is virtually impossible for her and how she's fighting her way back to life, bit by bit. Spoiler alert: Painting and her little dog help her a lot! 🫶 We also talk to our psychologist Malin about how cPTSD differs from PTSD, what repeated traumatic experiences do to a person, and which small skills can help in emergencies. However, cPTSD is highly complex, as the name of the disorder suggests. Therefore, this episode only provides a rough description of symptoms and treatment. This alone does not replace all scientific studies or treatment manuals. Question for you: Do you live with cPTSD or PTSD? What strategies or "skills" do you use in particularly difficult moments? 👇 ➡️ If you want to learn more about trauma, check out our video on PTSD:    • Was ist PTBS? Ein Leben zwischen Panikatta...   Subscribe to no stigma! for more personal and authentic stories and, above all, more knowledge about mental health. ❤️ ‼️ Note: If the topic triggers you, pause, use skills, and seek support from trusted people or professional resources.
