    Combat CPTSD, Complex Trauma

    Complex trauma from childhood abuse, neglect, or chronic relational wounds creates pervasive impacts on identity, relationships, and nervous system functioning that differ significantly from single-event PTSD. This learning plan is essential for individuals struggling with emotional dysregulation, relationship difficulties, or chronic feelings of unsafety stemming from developmental trauma who want to move from surviving to thriving. It combines neuroscience-informed approaches with compassionate inner work to address both the body-based and psychological dimensions of healing.
