Yes I've heard of this. I don't have C-PTSD but I do have (but am mostly recovered from PTSD). My understanding is that C-PTSD usually requires multiple traumas, or a long trauma over a sustained period of time (usually moths or years). It seems to me from the symptom list above that people who have C-PTSD have had to learn to cope with prolonged trauma so they develop a different set of symptoms, although i don't think that the symptoms for C-PTSD are inertly distinct from the PTSD set. I'm certain that I have at least two friends with C-PTSD, and seems to me that they share a lot the same issues with me, but also have thing that I don't have like trouble remembering, or becoming extremely angry when triggered.

Has your T discussed a treatment plan with you? Are you going to work on they symptoms or are you focusing on the trauma?
Thanks for this!
