Living with CPTSD
Feel This
Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder gets simplified in this pinch-hitter's course to understanding the condition millions of people around the world endure.
This short book
explores the condition the American Psychiatric Association refuses to recognize. CPTSD is the result of enduring repetitive and sustained traumatic events over the course of years, usually, under circumstances such as (but not limited to) being a prisoner of war, or a survivor of long term child abuse.
Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a nightmarish cluster of mental health diagnoses for those who develop and battle this condition in their daily lives.
Whether you're a survivor or just looking for information to be supportive of a loved one who suffers with CPTSD, there's hope for recovery and plain language throughout the book to help unravel the complexities of CPTSD.
Expressing My Voice in D.C.
On September 10, 2019, I travelled to Washington D.C. to protest in front of the American Psychiatric Association's headquarters.
Security was dispatched from within the building to let me know where I could stand on the sidewalk. I complied.
Drivers honked as they passed and some asked questions while they were waiting for the light to change at 9th Street SW.
Most of the foot traffic, though, folks coming and going from the building averted their eyes. People who were attached to the business of healing brains would not make eye contact with me. Peculiar, considering the nature of my signs.
