Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) is the result of the slow accumulation of many small traumatic experiences over time. Resource scarcity, physical or emotional abuse, inconsistent or neglectful parenting, and needing to manage your parents’ emotions as a child can all contribute to the myriad symptoms of CPTSD, which include low self-esteem, hyperarousal, feelings of guilt or shame, and a chronically dysregulated nervous system. • On our most popular Being Well episode to date, ‪@RickHanson‬and I discussed the mechanics of CPTSD with Pete Walker. On today's episode, I'm joined by my partner ‪@elizabeth.ferreira‬ to discuss the topic through a more personal lens. Elizabeth shares how CPTSD came about for her, what it can feel like, and how to create a compassionate environment with or without a therapist so you can safely process grief, learn to express your needs, and experience repressed emotions. • About our Guest: Elizabeth is a recent graduate of the Somatic Psychology program at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) and is currently earning hours toward her license. • If you enjoyed this episode, you'll love her new podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... • My Therapist's a Witch, Episode #1: • Working with Your Inner Critic | My T... • Elizabeth's YouTube: / @elizabeth.ferreira • Elizabeth's IG: / elizabeth_ferreira_somatics • Key Topics: • 0:00 Introduction • 2:20 Elizabeth’s story • 5:30 Trauma in the broader family system • 9:00 A “normal” story • 12:20 Loneliness, and the parts of us we leave behind • 15:35 Repressed emotions • 18:00 Adverse childhood experiences • 21:50 Stepping out of adverse environments • 27:00 Trauma work as grief work • 30:00 Symptoms of Complex PTSD • 36:20 How do you need to be comforted? • 39:00 Creating the sense of safety • 42:10 Somatic interventions • 47:00 Being witnessed • 49:20 Claiming your needs • 52:15 Facing the dreaded experience • 56:10 Accuracy vs. sensitivity • 59:55 Hidden parts • 1:03:00 Start by joining • 1:07:20 Recap • Subscribe to Being Well on: • Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... • Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5d87ZU1... • Who Am I: I'm Forrest, the co-author of Resilient (https://amzn.to/3iXLerD) and host of the Being Well Podcast (https://apple.co/38ufGG0).
