Something I've been thinking a lot about today is how we tell stories about are own trauma and what those ways of telling imply about the causes and manifestations of trauma

I probably have CPTSD (complex post-traumatic stress disorder). I don't have it because of one thing that happened to me, or a dozen things. I have it because of the sum total of everything that happened to me over a very long time. I don't know how to tell that story

But, I do want to say that if that's the trauma you have too, that's valid. You don't need to feel ashamed of it or inadequate. Don't fall into the trap of being torn between feeling overprivileged compared to your friends and knowing that really, you're as traumatised as them
