To know this survivor, now realises she has complex PTSD, and has sought a trauma therapist, based upon my work, is so wonderful and I am so thankful she has this now.
These are exactly the responses that drive me on.
To know people are understanding themselves better, are seeking support and counselling, and they can beginning their healing journey…is so amazing and why I do this.
To know the little ripples I put out there, do reach people in need, do help in a truly profound way – leading to people starting their healing journey, shows how the work I do, is needed, vital and has an impact. As I keep being told.
Bringing in other people’s amazing insight and promoting this, like Pete Walker – to further help people more than I can alone, is also needed. No one person can help as many as a group of people. And I refer to other people’s greater knowledge and insight, and use that with my drive to get the info out there.
I also use my own insight and capacity to express this, in a relatable way to help people too, which is why these blog posts are so popular.
I like to see my work, as a collaboration, of insight, knowledge and experience, providing ripples within an aspect of psychology, still fairly new, and so very needed.
Blessed to bless others.

I had heard of post traumatic stress syndrome but not complex trauma until God had me stumble apon your blog. Like the person who posted above, it is about the shift from survival mode. XXX

I am so thankful you found my blog and understand complex trauma/complex PTSD. It is so vital to know and understand what we are dealing with.
