    Quite the opposite. I’ve diagnosed CPTSD, and the only way out of hell, is changing your own perspective. Trying to accept, reframe.

    It’s pain. It’s slow. It’s hard. It’s the only way.

    EDIT: To anyone in need: I understand seeking professional help is hard. It took me over 20 years. I learned a lot from “Complex PTSD”: by Pete Walker. If you prefer listening instead, I like the “Recovering from reality” podcast.

      Thanks for the recommendation. A previous partner of mine had CPTSD and I’ve always wished I understood it more.
