PTSD and CPTSD can overlap, but they are not interchangeable terms.
PTSD is often discussed in connection with one or more traumatic events. Complex PTSD, or CPTSD, may involve the effects of prolonged, repeated, or relational trauma, along with challenges such as emotional regulation, self-worth, relationships, and a sense of safety.
Only a qualified clinician can assess what you are experiencing. You do not need to have the perfect label before reaching out for support.
