No my core values haven't changed, but my ability to fulfill them has. With my isolation and just not wanting to be around people, which is so unlike me, has been the result of the trauma. But deep down I am a caretaker and protector.
You were absolutely right to protect the person in custody. It's an ethical and legal responsibility, he is in your custody.
My experience with T's and CPTSD is that it overwhelms them with all the trauma. I think most go with the PTSD treatment plan which doesn't work for CPTSD.
Glad to have met you also Are you from out West?
