Dissociation is a safety mechanism which helps you to survive when fight, flight, or pleasing aren’t possible anymore. Dissociation is an act of survival.
Complex PTSD is planned to be included in the ICD-11 diagnostic manual and lists the causes of Complex PTSD, including Child Abuse and prolonged Domestic Violence
Both terms center the traumatic experience as part of a person's identity. Although (and please hear me on this) we can do real harm by minimizing someone's

Complex PTSD (cPTSD) was formulated to include, in addition to the core PTSD symptoms, dysregulation in three psychobiological areas: (1) emotion processing, (2) self-organization (including bodily integrity), and (3) relational security. The overlap of diagnostic criteria for cPTSD and borderline personality disorder (BPD) raises questions about the scientific integrity and clinical utility of the cPTSD construct/diagnosis, as well as opportunities to achieve an increasingly nuanced understanding of the role of psychological trauma in BPD. We review clinical and scientific findings regarding comorbidity, clinical phenomenology and neurobiology of BPD, PTSD, and cPTSD, and the role of traumatic victimization (in general and specific to primary caregivers), dissociation, and affect dysregulation. Findings suggest that BPD may involve heterogeneity related to psychological trauma that includes, but extends beyond, comorbidity with PTSD and potentially involves childhood victimization-related dissociation and affect dysregulation consistent with cPTSD. Although BPD and cPTSD overlap substantially, it is unwarranted to conceptualize cPTSD either as a replacement for BPD, or simply as a sub-type of BPD. We conclude with implications for clinical practice and scientific research based on a better differentiated view of cPTSD, BPD and PTSD.

The majority of people have heard of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which is an anxiety disorder that can result from exposure to an extremely traumatic event, such as a storm or car accident.
I’m Chelsea an Emotional Trauma Coach, I help women heal their lives through reestablishing safety in the nervous system, emotional processing & reclaiming parts of you lost in past traumas. ❤️🩹 I have always known that this is my calling. I was always a really observant child. Paying attention to the ways people behaved & used their words. There was a common theme I recognized but I didn’t know how to put it into language. So I kept watching🧐 Soon enough I experienced my own trauma. Emotionally & physically absent parental figures, narcissistic abuse, gaslighting, parentification, bullied, shamed for being myself, being rejected and intentionally misunderstood. I experienced this emotional pain deeper than most people and while I was in that pain I did something many people didn’t
