In this video, MedCircle host, Kyle Kittleson, sits down with clinal psychologist, Dr. Ramani Durvasula, to discuss the 6 signs of cPTSD that both patients and supporters should be aware of. Living with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, also known as, PTSD can be a challenge but Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, also known as, CPTSD can be especially difficult to treat. When you’ve endured repeated trauma over a long period of time – whether that’s wartime, child abuse, sexual assault, or more – you may find that you’re experiencing dissociations, distortions of perspective, or emotional instability, in addition to invasive flashbacks. These are all signs of cPTSD.

How can I have you as my psychiatrist? K have CPTSD and I haven’t been able to find a great trauma expert to care and help me. How can I have you as my Theraphist?
@@DezaRay24 I know I don’t know you but you are loved and so important. You didn’t deserve any of what you had to endure. I’d love to know if it’s not too Intrusive for you, of course, If you’ve found the help and healing you were seeking? If you see this or for anyone who does you aren’t alone.
You talk about dissociative amnesia being part of PTSD, but what is it called when people can recall almost EVERYTHING about the trauma including the sounds, sights, smells, emotions etc? (Sorry if you mentioned this in the video, I didn’t catch it)
❤️❤️❤️Dr. Ramani, I am SOOO Grateful to have found You! Thank You, for your ability to Help So Many of the Survivors of Narcissist Traumas, & the ones on the journey to Betterment!
Even to this day some 60 odd years later when I’m laying in bed, the sound of door knob clicking open makes my whole body jump. It is an automatic response. I can’t stop it even if I tried. Why? Because you knew what was going to happen and none of it was good.
This woman shoot look at her agressive way of talking. Way too direct and “i want jou here, i need jou here”.
