my therapist mentioned that I'd been there before back when I was 3 and 6. I told her it was probably because I'd been sexually abused around that time.

I should add that even though I was in therapy, I never felt like I really processed what happened, despite my mom telling me that she took me all the time and it was very extensive. But the records showed that she only took me 6 times in 2 years and had me on Prozac at the age of 6.

I'm just frustrated. Why would she essentially be telling me I should be fine because I've been through intensive therapy? When in fact she barely took me, cancelled appointments, etc.
I keep trying to tell myself that she did take me and maybe I'm wrong about this etc but idk. I've blocked a lot out so maybe I blocked therapy out too.. ?? She has BPD though and has generally always been unreliable tbh..  my mind is ping ponging tonight.

Hello and welcome!
I am new here as well. I just heard about CPTSD recently at my intake session with a therapist. I just want you to know that you're not alone. While I don't know every detail about your situation, reading what you've posted reminded me a lot of myself and my family.
I'm glad you've decided to join here. I hope this helps both of us!
Nice to meet you!

Welcome! I am new here as well. I hope you find this resource useful.
It's good to hear your therapy is helping you as well.
Hope you have a good day,
See you around!   

Blueberry,
Thank you for the information!
I am very nervous but it makes me feel better that there are others that are going through this. It makes me feel not so alone!

Hi,
I understand how you feel. That happens to me, usually after a long hard, stressful day. It's like my mind is all jumbled, which makes my words all jumbled. I usually just kind of quiet down and do my own thing for a while and sometimes that helps. Sometimes just sleeping helps as well.
I hope you are feeling better and get the rest you need!

Hello, I am new here. I recently had my intake session and the therapist mentioned many things like anxiety, depression, and specifically C-PTSD. I've been reading up on it but I'm still unsure and nervous about it. I never really thought of myself as having PTSD (but I never tried to think about it honestly).
I've experienced a lot of childhood trauma, from sexual abuse when I was 3, witnessing domestic violence, a borderline mother that I'm still trying to handle these days.
I don't know, I just wanted to put myself out there and see how other people have dealt with the diagnoses of C-PTSD.
I start EMDR therapy next week as well. I'm nervous but hopeful.

Hello. So I'm new here. My therapist mentioned the diagnosis of anxiety, depression, and specifically C-PTSD and gave me some info on that, which is how I found this.
I'm still a little confused and scared by this. I've had some childhood trauma and I have never processed any of it. I thought I had processed the sexual abuse, but I guess I only managed to push all the memories in the back of my mind. I'm just confused. What is C-PTSD and what does it look like in people?
I welcome any advice.
