In today's video, I'll explain everything you need to know about complex posttraumatic stress disorder. We'll go through everything, starting with a short history and ending with the key identifying features. We'll also look at potential triggers, such as violence and abuse in childhood. Recognition as an official diagnosis was a long and hard road, but as a psychotherapist, I'm all the more pleased that those affected can now be officially treated for it and can therefore work through traumas adequately. The biggest difference between PTSD and CPTSD is primarily that with PTSD there is a single key event that can be enough to trigger this diagnosis. With CPTSD, on the other hand, there are often several serious and drastic experiences that lead to impairments in the way people think or feel over a long period of time.
