Complex PTSD is the result of experiencing multiple traumas throughout your life, it is considered chronic and manageable but does not have a cure. Since speaking with Amelia about her journey i have to say this has been one of my most eye opening interviews to date, hearing her story and the way she has been able to overcome so many awful and terrible things has had a real impact on me and i know it will for you too!
For as long as Amelia can remember she has experienced some form of bullying and exclusion. Starting in Primary School and subsequently following her into High School and then the workplace where employers would use fear based tactics and flat out poor treatment to motivate their staff to work harder and keep their jobs.
In this episode Amelia walks us through this journey and gives the listeners an insight into what its like to live with Complex PTSD and the treatment and management she has found most beneficial. We chat about the symptoms of this condition and how this affects her in relationships, the workplace and her own self worth.
Make no mistake, Amelia is not a victim nor does she live in that headspace or mentality. She believes it is up to her to do 'the work' in order to create a beautiful and meaningful life and she wants to inspire others who have been in her position that they too can have that freedom. She is truly an incredibly inspiring person who has now created such an amazing life with her husband Lou and is working in a job that she feels safe and valued.
There is so much that we can all take away from this episode but above all else its so important to BE KIND and treat each other with respect. Thank you Amelia for sharing your story with us.
