The shrink that diagnosed me told me PTSD can be from a single solitary event. C-PTSD comes from prolonged trauma, disempowerment, captivity or entrapment, without a viable escape route.

She said think soldier seeing a bomb go off for PTSD
Then she said think prisoner of war being in captivity for months to years for C-PTSD
Thanks for this!
