Studies show that women are consistently more likely to meet criteria for complex PTSD. Additionally, experts find that women experience more severe symptoms than men. This is true even when men experienced the same traumatic events. Why? Scientists find that women think and process trauma differently and more acutely.
For PTSD sufferers, therapy is an excellent first step. You need a supportive person, expertly trained and dedicated to seeing you through effective treatment and lasting recovery. Where trauma seemed to have robbed you of so much, you now have the opportunity to seek out a relationship with a PTSD psychotherapist that is both trustworthy and therapeutic.
