Chapter 1 explains how trauma experienced in childhood can prime a person for development of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder later in life. I found the study of developmental psychology extremely helpful for understanding the deeper effects of my CPTSD. Reading about it helped me in surprising ways. I stumbled onto the topic while I was researching dysfunctional families. Getting to some level of understanding of the topic has led me to look at childhood and its foundation for development of emotional, relational, self-regulatory and self-image imprints into adulthood in a clearer, less emotional way. It helped me detach a bit from experiencing my pain, to understanding it.More chapters will be coming:Complex PTSD SymptomsPost-Traumatic Stress Diagnostic CriteriaRecurrent Trauma and Chronic StressRe-ExperiencingAvoidanceHyper-ArousalImpairment of FunctioningDisorders of Extreme Stress Diagnostic CriteriaChanges in Self-RegulationCognitive ChangesChanges in Self-PerceptionChanges in RelationshipsLoss of MeaningProgression of CPTSDPrimary Development TraumasSecondary TraumasOnset and ProgressionEarly Psychological SymptomsTriggers and Environmental CluesWorsening Psychobiological IssuesSerious Episodes and CrisesAccepting the DiagnosisRecovery, Remission and RelapsePsychobiological Effects of CPTSDSomatization and Comorbid IllnessCPTSD Effects On the BrainChronic Health IssuesCardiovascular DiseaseEndocrine SystemDigestive and Serotonergic System ImbalanceImmune SystemReproductive SystemComplications and Risks with CPTSDLife ChangesRelated Psychological DisordersAnxietyDepressionEating DisordersSubstance Use and Addiction DisordersObsessive-Compulsive DisorderDeliberate Self-Harm SyndromeSexual DysfunctionPsychiatric ComplicationsSuicidalityPsychosisTreatment Approaches for CPTSDProfessional Treatment ApproachesPsychotherapyPharmaceutical TreatmentCrisis Intervention and TreatmentSelf-Managed TherapyResearch and ReadingJournalingDaily JournalSymptom JournalIntrusive Thoughts JournalFlashback/Dream JournalInventoriesSymptom InventoryTrauma InventoryTrigger InventoryGrowth InventoryReviewing and ReframingDevelopmental Trauma WorkSecondary Trauma WorkReframing GoalsSelf-Medication and Medical MarijuanaWhy Cannabis WorksStress and Endocannabinoid System SuppressionCalming Active PTSD SymptomsSupport for Narrative TherapySupport for Comorbid Disorders and Chronic IllnessSubstance Abuse vs. MedicatingTreatment ConsiderationsCaution is NeededCall for More Studies... and LegalizationSocial Stigma of Marijuana TherapyKnowing When to Stop MedicatingPersonal Growth and Change in RecoveryPositive InclinationRegression and RegrowthRecognizing ResponsibilityHealthy Expression of AngerGrievingForgivenessPerspectiveAcceptanceRebuilding Trust and AttachmentHonoring StrengthsFinding Self-LoveBecoming My Own GuardianFinding New MeaningMaintaining Long Term Health with CPTSDNutrition and Mental WellnessExcitotoxins and Induced SymptomsRest, Exercise and ResilienceLong Road to Neurological and Physical RecoveryBuilding a Safe, Low-Stress LifeDouble Chronic, With a Twist
