In this episode I interview licensed therapist Kina Wolfenstein. Kina specializes in Complex PTSD and is the host of the Complex PTSD recovery podcast to spread education about CPTSD and trauma informed therapy.
We discuss:
- What complex trauma and what complex post traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) is
- What our attachment with our caregivers has to do with CPTSD
- Emotional flashbacks and how to use them as an opportunity to heal
- Developing a healthy relationship with anger
- The role of grief in healing CPTSD
- What happens when our need for connection and safety are in conflict
- Why it's important to heal through our relationships with others
- How to gather disconfirming experiences to re-earn a secure attachment
