Скачать или смотреть The Mental Break Down: More Than Just Trauma: Understanding C-PTSD

Welcome to the premiere episode of The Mental Break Down, a 5 minute weekly mental health mini-series by Sol Well, designed to raise awareness, spark reflection, and offer practical support—one topic at a time.

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, this week we’re diving into Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) — a lesser-known but deeply impactful diagnosis that can shape how we feel about ourselves, relate to others, and navigate the world.

💬 We unpack:

What C-PTSD is and how it differs from PTSD
Signs and symptoms like emotional flashbacks and relationship struggles
How trauma-informed care and proper diagnosis make a difference
A grounding tool to support emotional regulation: The Safe Place Visualization

Whether you’re navigating trauma or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a gentle but informative breakdown to deepen your understanding.
