Complex Post Traumatic Stress DIsorder C-PTSD
Complex PTSD is where several traumatic events have occurred, usually in childhood, and which have a massive ongoing impact years later.
I see it a lot with survivors of institutional abuse, sustained abuse over years, survivors of regular violence in the home and so on.
Trauma is a 'psychological injury' it's a result of the impact of what happened to our mind and make-up. In that it's different to many other issues which come about in less immediate ways.
Thankfully there are therapies available with solid track records to help overcome traumatic issues.
This piece has some good info on it for those interested:
