CPTSD and the Stack of Diagnoses Nobody Connects
If you've been diagnosed with more than one thing, and it feels like every provider is treating each piece in isolation, this episode is for you.Complex PTSD doesn't just show up as one condition. For many people, CPTSD symptoms include a stack of co-occurring diagnoses that are deeply connected at the nervous system level but rarely treated that way. In this episode, I break down exactly what might be happening underneath seven of the most common conditions that show up alongside complex trauma, and why understanding the connection changes everything about how healing can work.

身心觉醒之旅:从碎片到整合
Preface: CPTSD与AS的自助疗愈指南
本集作为对复杂性创伤后压力综合征(CPTSD)和阿斯伯格综合征(AS)患者的自助疗愈指南的概述。由于现代医学和心理咨询方法对这些病症的局限性、高成本和效果不佳,自助是成年患者几乎唯一可靠的手段。作者光瞳认为CPTSD和AS具有高度共性,并将AS的本质理解为一种“脆弱性”,建议以CPTSD的自助治疗为基础。基本思路是结合体感疗法(Somatic Experiencing, SE)来弥补主流认知行为疗法(CBT)在处理CPTSD时的不足,并侧重于处理心理障碍消解前的基础问题。该指南面向已成年的幸存者,要求读者具备一定的心理学基础、知识储备和坚定的决心,强调自助疗愈是一项漫长且严肃的挑战。

Living with CPTSD
It is the last date of CPTSD awareness day and this is one of my most requested episodes. CPTSD is something that still has so much misinformation, lack of awareness and education and lack of recognition. Those of us living with this disorder oftentimes feel misunderstood. We feel alone in our struggle. We feel isolated and we feel like there’s no way anyone could possibly understand the things that are going through our mind and body. I’m here to tell you that isn’t true. There is an entire demographic of people who get you. They might not ha...

2401. 《不原谅也没关系》聊聊CPTSD 长大后治愈童年的自己
欢迎收听《松露书局》,今年第一本书《不原谅也没关系》,聊聊CPTSD。CPTSD:复杂性创伤后压力综合征,是由心理社会性的成因(即个人在成长过程中遭受不同形式的暴力,包括躯体虐待、情感虐待、性虐待、忽视和欺凌等)造成的,而不是先天基因的问题。作者皮特·沃克本人就是一名复杂性创伤后应激障碍幸存者,他结合自身疗愈经历以及30多年的心理治疗从业经验,通过本书深度剖析了CPTSD的起因、症状和类型,并提供了有效的自我疗愈工具,以帮助我们打破在情绪、思维与身体层面的恶性循环。CPTSD的主要症状:1. 情绪闪回。它是一种突然发生且通常持续时间较长的退行,我们会退行至童年遭受虐待或遗弃时所产生的强烈的情绪状态。2. 毒性羞耻感。它会让我们觉得自己惹人厌、丑陋、愚蠢或有致命缺陷,这种强烈的感受会摧毁人的自尊,触发情绪闪回。3. 自我遗弃。当童年被遗弃的经历在闪回中重现时,我们常常会孤立自己,无助地向强烈的羞辱感投降。4. 内在批判者。自我羞辱和责备,感觉自己不够好,迷失在自我厌恶和恶性的自我批判中。5. 社交焦虑,对社交非常不自在。应对威胁的本能反应(4F):战 Fight - 自恋型逃 Flight - 逃避型僵 Freeze - 解离型讨好 Fawn - 讨好型时间码:29:13 父母曾经给我们带来的创伤 原谅还是不原谅59:47 我们的创伤更多的来自父母的情感忽视 不只是肢体暴力是暴力

解离:置身世界之中,却并未真实存在|CPTSD专题
在创伤带来的“战逃僵”反应中,解离是很核心的一种应激状态,它储存了我们未经处理的原始创伤,在极度崩溃的情况下将情绪冻住,保护我们继续生存下去。但随着自我的觉醒,解离的固化反而会阻碍我们的疗愈和新生。疗愈中如何“反解离”?混乱时又该如何整合破碎的过去?这可能是我们探索back to normal的必经之路。本期节目我想继续以CPTSD的视角展开,和大家探讨解离会给我们的身体、情绪造成什么样的困扰,结合多重迷走神经理论(Polyvagal Theory)和情绪解冻的处理,理解打破解离的过程中到底会发生什么,如何更好的认识创伤的“症状”,接纳自己。|时间线|00:43 用CPTSD的视角理解创伤告诉我们的故事05:31 解离,面对创伤时的自我保护机制07:27《你当像鸟飞往你的山》中塔拉描写的解离11:08 在疗愈的不同阶段,解离的3种表现22:37 多重迷走神经理论如何理解“战逃僵”?26:46 神经和大脑协同决定了应激反应的快速发生29:21 无法放松、生存模式——CPTSD的主要特征38:07 与世界隔绝,与身体分开,解离的躯体化42:10 痛苦到深度昏厥,被创伤冻住的极致50:15 找回自己的身体边界是一种自我赋权53:25 TRE释放身体压力,与自己解离的部分连接59:30 解冻中的身心震荡是面对真实痛苦的必经之路1:01:07 打破解离为什么会带来焦虑感的增加?1:05:23 告别解离是接纳自我,释放过往哀伤的过程1:13:17 做出选择而非决定,是一种保留自尊的告别方式1:15:27 16岁的塔拉被封存在镜子里,新的塔拉做出了选择|相关资料|我的解离系列笔记 1 2 3 4 5自我照料2.0:从CPTSD的角度去践行self-care动中觉察:在运动中构筑疗愈的力量此时此刻:回归当下,重新潜入世界的练习《你当像鸟飞往你的山》塔拉·韦斯特弗《登天之梯:一个儿童心理咨询师的诊疗笔记》Bruce D.

Re-Release - CPTSD - Dysregulation
Originally Published March 5th, 2022 Dysregulation refers to the inability to regulate your brain function and nervous system, which has physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. With CPTSD, our history of trauma can leave our nervous system always engaged in fight or flight, and we become extra sensitive to stress and other triggers. For CPTSD survivors, dysregulation is generally caused by a trigger. This can be a seemingly ordinary or mild event, but it triggers an unconscious flashback to the feelings of a past traumatic or emotionally upsetting experience. https://medium.com...

What is CPTSD?
Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is only recently beginning to be recognized thanks to the Healing Revolution but its roots actually go back to Freud in the 1800's. Complex CPTSD sets itself apart from PTSD by five distinguishing trauma responses and likely stems from an adverse childhood experience, a developmental trauma, a failed environment. With brain science coming so far in the past twenty years we are now more clear about how trauma affects a developing young brain. Stress, trauma, and unresolved stress responses create a dysfunctional brain. When our bodies are more stressed it can create...

12. Loss of "Self," Learned Helplessness, and Executive Functioning
Do you edit your daily activities to feel "acceptable," to the detriment of your own wants, needs, and goals? Can you see yourself clearly from the outside, on one timeline? Do you have the power to "drop out" of your brain and observe its activities as a separate observer? Maybe not. Today, we're talking about the loss of "Self" - the most flowery and easily dismissible of the CPTSD hallmarks... which might explain why we continually lose progress in trauma recovery. It's the key to keeping your brain, behaviors, and 'balance' on track. The cognitive t...

9. The Trauma Trap: Avoidance, Rigidity, and Trauma-Bubbles
So, let's say your brain is on fire 24/7. Your body is doing the same. You're uncomfortable every moment, from the inside and out. You, very literally, are too sick and tired to deal with another obstacle or point of pressure. So... You reasonably start avoiding sources of strain. But then it gets unreasonable. What happens if everything is deemed "risky"? Talking the eventual extreme outcome of untreated CPTSD. Turns out, it's a lot more common than you probably think - TLC specials, aside. Today, let's rap about the agitated, agoraphobic, rigid-brained experience of rightfully avoiding everything that hurts. Looking to st...

Let's take an unexpected step back, and talk more about the EXPERIENCE of living with CPTSD, not just the brain processes that make it reality. With memory, attentional, emotional, and relationship issues at the forefront of the list, not to mention all the stress-based health failures, there's a lot to say about the endless death march of having untreated CPTSD running the show. The real cumulative CPTSD experience is probably when we take all these tormentors coming from the insides of our own brains and bodies, lay awake all night, every night, and enjoy that endless tour de “all the mos...

3. Yer Brain on CPTSD
Let's talk about everyone's favorite new buzzdiagnosis - Complex Trauma (CPTSD). What is it? Why is it so difficult to name? And what does it really do to your brain, as far as creating self-destructive neural structures that can undermine your lifetime? Here's a biological / neuropsychological breakdown of life on undiagnosed CPTSD, AKA living with "pervasive relational trauma." In a nutshell, CPTSD is the same brain mechanism and downstream nightmare we just discussed last time in our PTSD talk... But specifically it’s defined by the early timing, the rel...

PTSD Awareness Month- We are talking about cPTSD!
It's PTSD awareness month so I am actually going to rerelease a podcast episode that we had earlier on. It's about living with cPTSD, and I want to have it again because living with cPTSD is a big part of my life. It shaped a lot of who I am growing up in mostly horrible ways. It took a long time for me to discover who I am outside of what that illness made me. There are still parts of myself that I am still untangling from my cPTSD today. Experiencing trauma is not...
