Everyone has stressful days. But if you constantly feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally stuck because of past trauma, it may be more than everyday stress.
Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) can affect your emotions, relationships, and daily life. Recognizing the symptoms early can help you get the support you need.
If you’re unsure how trauma affects your mental health, our Understanding Trauma services can help you better understand what’s happening.
