Building Healthy Bonds: Navigating Relationships with CPTSD

So it's completely reasonable to say something along the lines of: you know, I really feel that you need a therapist, you need to be in therapy, you need you know professional mental health care or you need a team of people supporting you, not just me, like I can't be the only one, and I'm happy to continue supporting you as you do these other things, to take responsibility for your own healing.
Relationships can be tricky, but when CPTSD enters the picture, they can feel like navigating a minefield. In this heartfelt episode of 'Complex Trauma Recovery', Kina Penelope tackles the intricate dynamics of being close to someone with Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. She dives into the role boundaries play in fostering secure attachment patterns and maintaining healthy connections. Kina doesn't shy away from the tough stuff; she highlights the importance of mutual effort, challenging unhealthy communication patterns, and growing together.
If you’ve ever struggled with codependency or wondered how to set boundaries without feeling guilty, this episode offers practical advice and empathetic insights. Kina also sheds light on recognizing signs of a healthy relationship, emphasizing that it’s a two-way street requiring ongoing conversations and adjustments. Whether you're directly affected by CPTSD or supporting someone who is, this episode provides a compassionate guide to building stronger, healthier bonds.
