Angle: C-PTSD is not “worse PTSD.” ICD-11 places it beside PTSD and adds three disturbances in self-organization: affect dysregulation, persistent negative self-concept, and enduring relationship difficulties. Often born of prolonged or repeated trauma — childhood, captivity, a relationship you could not leave — rather than a single index event.
Meta description frames it cleanly: a trauma response to prolonged or repeated trauma, recognized in the ICD-11, that adds emotion regulation, self-worth, and relationship difficulties beyond standard PTSD — and where to find support.

Cross-links to trauma-ptsd, childhood-emotional-neglect, and self-esteem pages. QA note this build: Russian/Arabic pages use their own-script PTSD terminology (Cyrillic «ПТСР», fully translated Arabic) rather than the Latin acronym — matching each language’s existing convention.
After CEN (absence rather than incident), C-PTSD is the natural next door: prolonged relational or captivity trauma, emotional flashbacks, and the “craving vs. fearing closeness” push-pull many readers recognize. Sonnet flags that standard exposure-based PTSD protocols often need complex/relational-trauma training on top. Resources named in-chat: CPTSD Foundation, Blue Knot Foundation (Australia), National Center for PTSD (VA).
