Summary: "What is Complex PTSD and can it be healed?" Those are two of the most prevalent and loaded questions I hear often from survivors and caregivers. In honor of National Survivor Month (June) and National PTSD Day (June 27) we're kicking off the month with the answers to these critical questions. To explore the real facts I brought in one of my favorite experts, Trauma Therapy Coordinator for Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center, Megan Ross. Together we covered how to: define C-PTSD identify types of trauma that lead to C-PTSD differentiate C-PTSD from PTSD in terms of symptoms plan a treatment approach for recovery During our conversation Megan said something I really adored. Actually, it gave me goose bumps because I love hearing it! When I asked if it's possible to recover from C-PTSD she said, "I think anything can be healed." She then launched into a terrific outline of how those positive gains can be made. If you're interested in what's possible for life after trauma, then I know you'll love hearing her thoughts.
