Pete Walker says C-PTSD's 5 most prominent features are:
- emotional flashbacks
- toxic shame
- self-abandonment
- social anxiety, and
- strong inner critic

I'm quite sure I have all of those going on so...I guess I'll be around here more often :-) 

33yo

childhood: decent amount of misattunement, enmeshment, criticism
realizing i need to dump my current therapist and find someone more solid and experienced in this stuff

i'm dead tired but realized i needed to create an account and get on here...

Welcome Tom!

You welcomed me. So I figured I'd welcome you too. Heh.

From the little I've been on here, this place seems pretty nice unlike other forums I've been to. I think we both made a good decision to register here. I've found it's easier to learn to be compassioante to yourself more when other people show how unconditional acceptance to you is like.

I've found some hope here. Hope you find some hope here too.
