I have CPTSD and it is heavily surrounding abandonment and neglect. I am in the first healthy relationship of my life and recently moved in with him, and I notice I am WAY more triggered now. The calm sends my nervous system into strong loops of anticipation. Then when nothing happens.. I start to come up with things in my head and over analyze things. I’d love to see a video on CPTSD and navigating a healthy and calm relationship.

Thank you for saying this out loud. The nervous system regulation is beyond exhausting.

As someone with CPTSD, this was incredibly helpful to hear. The shame spiral for always being tired / lazy makes it so hard to have that self-compassion

I feel that this explanation is making it sound like it can’t be lessened. She makes it sound final

"But it's in the past.. isn't it about time to let it go?" Oh my god.. when people think we're choosing to have c-ptsd. 🫠 I'm glad research is finally here about it being a physical thing and not us clinging to bad experiences.

My window of tolerance is not the same as a healthy person’s… i am chronically on the egde of high arousal due to the unsafe environment i had to grow up in. So i can leave my window of tolerance by overdrive or total shut down (going down) but… when the calm arrives i’m not going back to the same baseline as a healthy person. That’s the learning part for me. Feeling safe when it is and not be on high alert. Jupp im tiredd

Is it normal to feel paralyzed every time you have to go somewhere? I seriously can’t move and get myself going and I have no desire to be around other people. 😭

Healthcare professionals should take this more seriously especially when one is maxed out in the burnout stage.

It really sucks being in the world like this. You just wanna be a creature in a burrow. And why is it so difficult to find treatment for CPTSD???
