There is an excellent fact sheet at Blue Knot foundation in Australia for friends and families of someone with CPTSD - http://www.blueknot.org.au/Portals/2/Fact%20Sheets%20Info/Fact%20Sheet_Supporters%20Carers.pdf.
Please feel free to add other resources to this thread :yes:

What a great resource!!! :thumbup: Thanks, Kizzie!
:yeahthat:
Thanks. :)
Yes, Blue Knot has great resources and has done some amazing things with respect to services, raising awareness, prevention and advocacy. Quite the organization. I'd love for OOTS to do some similar things over time
I think I've posted this link elsewhere, but it suits this thread so I'll stick it up again. It speaks specifically to past child abuse, but a lot of the concepts likely fit other causes of cptsd.
While not an extensive resource, this article was helpful to explaining to a boyfriend what was going on with me. It took a lot of nerve to send it to him, so I'm thankful that he received it well and really tried to understand.
It covers a lot of ground. I can see where it would be helpful to talk it over line by line with someone who is in your inner circle of trust.
