Trauma is one of those things that can happen, but it can continue to happen even after the event has taken place. Your body and brain tend to stay in defense mode as a way to protect yourself from any other potential threats.

This is known as PTSD or post-traumatic stress disorder. No matter what type of trauma you experience, it’s real, raw, and complicated. But there isn’t just one form of PTSD that could occur after a trauma.

C-PTSD, or complex post-traumatic stress disorder, is another form of post-traumatic stress disorder that could occur after experiencing a traumatic event.

Let’s learn more about how C-PTSD differs from PTSD.
