The Hidden Struggle of Complex PTSD

In this episode, I share honestly what Complex PTSD feels like from the inside.Not the clinical definitions, but the lived reality: why your body stays on guard, why rest feels impossible, and why shame follows you long after the moment has passed.For years, trauma was thought of as a single event. But Complex PTSD forms when pain is repeated, ongoing, and often invisible — especially in childhood or close relationships. It doesn’t just mark memory. It reshapes identity, emotions, and relationships.You are not broken. What feels like weakness is often your body’s brilliance at survival.In this video, we’ll explore:- What Complex PTSD actually is (and how it’s different from PTSD)- Everyday examples of how it shows up at work, home, and in relationships- Why your nervous system stays stuck in 'alarm mode'- Tools that help the body learn safety again (resourcing,, body “brakes,” and connection)---🎁 FREE HEALING TOOLS:The Complex PTSD Companion Guide – Understand what CPTSD really feels likeDownload →https://www.thecanariesinthecoalmine.com/wr4dlz92c3The Vagus Nerve Reset Guide – calm body memories & anxietyDownload → https://www.thecanariesinthecoalmine.com/4qzfwvxxp77 Tools for Sensitive Souls in a Loud World – free PDFGet it → https://mailchi.mp/7d6d2342bb0b/the-canarys-survival-guideCanary Love Notes – gentle, trauma-informed support (weekday mornings)Sign up → https://www.thecanariesinthecoalmine.com/c6ivxhp4ti---🌐 STAY CONNECTED:Subscribe: @thecanariesinthecoalminePodcast: Canaries in the Coal Mine (Spotify / Apple / Amazon)Book Nook: https://amzn.to/4fzi6Eu](https://amzn.to/4fzi6EuWebsite: https://www.thecanariesinthecoalmine.com/---⚠️ DISCLAIMER:This video is not medical advice and is not sponsored.
