Great video resources covering a range of topics from psychotherapy lense (not necessarily on C-PTSD).

Alain de Botton is the founder and has written some great books and given some great presentations. They also have a shop with various resources on their website.

Thanks for posting this, Tofu+.

The site tends to stay away from declaring its wide-ranging topics as absolute truth. Rather, it's an interesting assortment veering towards  a range of topics such as different philosophies that speak more to discovery about possibilities instead of promising recovery from one's troubles (they're so individual).

Less prescriptive than many psychological sites tend to be, just make sure your brain is turned on, and as I read somewhere the other day, open your mind but don't let your brain fall out. In other words, discernment helps the ride with whatever rough spots remain or crop up along the journey. As de Botton explains his approach, it starts with accepting that our life isn't perfect, whichh makes it even more worthwhile to explore, be curious, and live from where your heart draws you.
