Something Important and Nuanced

This has nailed it. This is exactly what I was talking about in I Feel it All. This word, that label is a hard one to assign even when the behaviors fit the bill. And there's even more complication when those sources of abuse are also sources of love, our parents, siblings, partners etc. I have much to write about this, coming in A to B to CPTSD but I'm sharing as a resource in the meantime.

Very grateful to Kina . Her article on complex PTSD is one of the first resources I used and I've been engaging her with her stuff so much. I am so grateful to her. https://www.strongrootspsychotherapy.com/blog/what-is-complex-ptsd
