PTSD can be the cause of a wide variety of behaviors and “symptoms,” and can be caused by one major traumatic event, or many events happening over time. When it’s caused by multiple events, they label it Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD.) I’ve created this page to try to help connect people living with either form of PTSD with resources that can help them. I will be adding more info as often as I can.
To learn more about my own experiences that led to PTSD & C-PTSD, visit the page I created for my murdered friend- Isaiah Hale, and my About Me page, but I did create a graphic listing many of the experiences I’ve had.
