Personal Story

I am couraged to do this project by the words written by Pete Walker. He says in his book that the hurt is not caused by ourselves but we need to do for recovery.

Aim

I'm interested in the reactions I have had when I have to face the family issues. The emotions, thoughts and reactions are uncontrolled. It is more likely to be an unconscious reaction. I want to visualize the reactions and feelings.

Further Added

When I am doing my researches, I'm allergic with some topical medicines. I find the skin allergies are having the similarities with the CPTSD.

C-PTSD vs PTSD: Understanding the Differences

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Either Complex PTSD or PTSD may occur in response to trauma, and they have various symptoms in common. C-PTSD is caused by ongoing trauma which lasts for months or years, while PTSD may be caused by a single traumatic event. The symptoms of C-PTSD are also more complex and may take longer to treat.

It is like skin allergies, the essential way to get recovered is to take the step of admitting that,' OK, I'm allergic. I am allergic with...' Life is not easy and it is always unfair.

Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving: A Guide and Map for Recovering from Childhood Trauma, written by Pete Walker

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I have Complex PTSD [Cptsd] and wrote this book from the perspective of someone who has experienced a great reduction of symptoms over the years. I also wrote it from the viewpoint of someone who has discovered many silver linings in the long, windy, bumpy road of recovering from Cptsd.
I felt encouraged to write this book because of thousands of e-mail responses to the articles on my website that repeatedly expressed gratitude for the helpfulness of my work. An often echoed comment sounded like this: At last someone gets it. I can see now that I am not bad, defective or crazy...or alone!
The causes of Cptsd range from severe neglect to monstrous abuse. Many survivors grow up in houses that are not homes - in families that are as loveless as orphanages and sometimes as dangerous.
If you felt unwanted, unliked, rejected, hated and/or despised for a lengthy portion of your childhood, trauma may be deeply engrained in your mind, soul and body.
This book is a practical, user-friendly self-help guide to recovering from the lingering effects of childhood trauma, and to achieving a rich and fulfilling life. It is copiously illustrated with examples of my own and my clients' journeys of recovering. This book is also for those who do not have Cptsd but want to understand and help a loved one who does.
This book also contains an overview of the tasks of recovering and a great many practical tools and techniques for recovering from childhood trauma. It extensively elaborates on all the recovery concepts explained on my website, and many more. However, unlike the articles on my website, it is oriented toward the layperson. As such, much of the psychological jargon and dense concentration of concepts in the website articles has been replaced with expanded and easier to follow explanations. Moreover, many principles that were only sketched out in the articles are explained in much greater detail. A great deal of new material is also explored.
Key concepts of the book include managing emotional flashbacks, understanding the four different types of trauma survivors, differentiating the outer critic from the inner critic, healing the abandonment depression that come from emotional abandonment and self-abandonment, self-reparenting and reparenting by committee, and deconstructing the hierarchy of self-injuring responses that childhood trauma forces survivors to adopt.
The book also functions as a map to help you understand the somewhat linear progression of recovery, to help you identify what you have already accomplished, and to help you figure out what is best to work on and prioritize now. This in turn also serves to help you identify the signs of your recovery and to develop reasonable expectations about the rate of your recovery.
I hope this map will guide you to heal in a way that helps you to become an unflinching source of kindness and self-compassion for yourself, and that out of that journey you will find at least one other human being who will reciprocally love you well enough in that way.

It is the first time I take a look over her life with art and trauma. It is not easy to understand the expression of pain her self-consciousness and thoughts about death in her paintings. The first thing I really like about her paintings is the narrative telling. She is usually to be considered as surrealism artist, but every object and symbol she uses in her painting can be seen as a perspective of her life, so the painting can straightly express her internal emotions. The second thing about her is her spirit of thinking her life. Although she always draw about her pain and tragedies, she never stops thinking about her relationships between destiny, society, the universe and the death. She never stops thinking and self-expressing. In her paintings, I can see her struggling thought about the relationship between herself and the pain. She used to think about giving up and die, but eventually she chooses to take the given destiny. Her life is full of different tragedies and pains, but she never stops experience and recording. I personally think it's really valuable. Her soul is beyond the pain. In Mexican culture, death is not be seen as the end of life.

Why is this book valuable, and what have I learned from this book?

This book provides knowledge about CPTSD and the self-recovery guidance. Pete Walker makes the complex psychological system easy to understand. The book is facing a wild range of people from different regions that are facing the same problem, CPTSD. What I am attracted is that, the translator's preface written by Lillian Chen, U.S Psychotherapist, mentions that the oral direction is not that easy to be accepted by the patients. A written guid book might be more acceptable, and easier to carry in life.

CPTSD is a very new category in Psychology, and this book provides well-organized and a wide-range of supportive examples. The writer also uses historical evidence to support his study. Although this book provides a very systemic knowledge to the readers, it is a book based on the professional and personal experience from the writer and still need to be add-on, re-organized in the future.

After reading this book, I think I'm really interested in the braveness that the patients show. In my personal perspective, CPTSD is like the elephant in the room. People in the room is like locked in the cage and looking for an exit. Realizing there is an elephant in the room and finding a way to free myself and the elephant are important. Some people can sense there is something big in the room and some people avoid noticing the existence.
