Lee Frost, B.A., M.A.
Tuesday, Jan 9th , 1 - 4 PM



Complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) is a recent addition to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) and expands upon the characterization of PTSD by including long-term abusive environments, emotional dysregulation, having a diminished and often fiercely negative view of oneself, and relational difficulties. According to The Lancet, it's estimated that it affects 1–8% of the population and has up to a 50% prevalence in mental health facilities. This disorder is frequently misdiagnosed and the connection to a multitude of medical conditions is often missed.


This session covers 3 topic areas:

- An overview of CPTSD and the medical problems that accompany it.

- Advice on working with patients living with complex trauma.

- Tips on teaching people how to manage it and how to create a safe and productive environment for education.
