Inhaltsangabe

You may think that because your trauma happened years ago, you should just be over it by now, but your brain doesn’t care about a timeline.

In an unrelenting loop of overthinking, you obsessively replay everyday events, second-guessing your judgment, and drowning in unearned guilt. If you are constantly exhausted yet unable to sleep, anxious yet emotionally numb, and paralyzed by simple daily choices, you aren’t losing your mind. You may be experiencing the biological effects of Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

CPTSD reshapes your inner landscape, leaving you with persistent brain fog, memory fragments, and a devastating loss of your identity. In Complex PTSD Survival Skills, Dr. Cara Bramlett, DHSc, PA-C, provides a deeply compassionate guide to break the neurological hamster wheel of constantly feeling on edge and waiting for the next thing to go wrong. Stop feeling like a prisoner to your racing thoughts and learn to quiet the mental chaos with easy, practical exercises.
This empowering guide examines the hidden scars left behind by repeated trauma, including the debilitating effects of emotional dysregulation, toxic shame, fatigue, and chronic pain. Discover how long-term trauma changes your brain, intensifies your fears, and makes it impossible to think clearly or make simple choices. This book serves as a practical guide to understanding why you feel so overwhelmed and how to take the first step forward.
