C-PTSD: Let's Make Sense Of This Sh*t

About C-PTSD: Let's Make Sense Of This Sh*t

This show is for adults living with complex PTSD who need trauma-framed, 8–12 minute explainers and micro-tools they can use between therapy sessions—not generic wellness content. We own the lexicon of complex trauma, CPTSD, flashbacks, dissociation, fawn response, hypervigilance, and trauma boundaries. Every title leads with CPTSD or trauma context. We never publish bare "grounding," "breathing," or "healing journey" episodes that compete with `anxiety` or `grief`; we never promise cures, diagnose listeners, or replace licensed trauma therapy. --- Topics include: CPTSD: Let's Make Sense of This Shit. Audio for this show is produced with AI assistance. Episodes are researched, scripted, and reviewed for accuracy before release.

Published 28 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] When I look back at that dinner through Brown's lens, Something clicks. In the first hour afterward, there was a thin thread of actual guilt in there. I made a joke that hurt someone. Fair. That part was workable. But what I lived with for 11 days wasn't guilt. Nowhere in those 11 days did I think, I should apologize for that joke. I thought, I am the problem. That's the shame signature. Guilt points at the event. Shame points at you. And here's why this matters so much for those of us with complex trauma. specifically for someone whose childhood was reasonably safe shame is usually a passing weather system it shows up after an embarrassing moment it stings and it moves through in hours or days because underneath it sits a base layer of i'm basically okay for those of us who grew up with chronic misattunement criticism or worse that base layer was never installed or it was installed backwards.
