Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD), formally recognized in ICD-11 and pioneered by Judith Herman in Trauma and Recovery<\/em> (1992), results from chronic, repeated, or prolonged interpersonal trauma from which escape is difficult or impossible\u2014such as childhood emotional\/physical abuse, neglect, chronic domestic violence, or prolonged captivity. Beyond standard PTSD symptoms, CPTSD includes the triad of “Disturbances in Self-Organization” (DSO): severe Affect Dysregulation, Negative Self-Concept (pervasive feelings of worthlessness, defectiveness, and deep shame), and Interpersonal Difficulties (inability to sustain trusting relationships). The Complex Trauma and Developmental Trauma Psychoeducation Module<\/strong> provides 21 structured video lessons detailing developmental attachment wounds, structural dissociation, and triphasic trauma therapy.<\/p>\n
