Research and diagnosis of Complex Trauma/Complex PTSD have only been in mainstream Psychology, less than 10 years. Treatments are therefore new and underdeveloped worldwide. I have seen excellent results in my practice so far using a model developed from the available literature and my 15 years of clinical experience working with adults with backgrounds of childhood trauma. I invite anyone who has undergone adverse childhood experiences, and were unsupported through them, to join others experiencing similar challenges to understand the 4 most fundamental presentations of cPTSD and practice strategies which promote healing and recovery.
