We're back in the swing of things, and this week Haley is breaking down the difference between PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and CPTSD (complex post traumatic stress disorder). We discuss the diagnostic criteria for PTSD and CPTSD, the layman’s terms for symptoms, how the brain responds to trauma, and much more. There is a lot of information packed into this 49 minute episode, so we hope you’re able to grab a few takeaways from it. Make sure to take care of yourself and be kind to yourself after listening, as some of these topics can be pretty heavy.
