You're living a life full of ordinary moments — planning birthday parties, loading the dishwasher, answering emails — that nobody warned you would feel like this. Years of therapy didn't prepare you for what these moments actually are: the lived experience of complex trauma showing up inside the rooms of an adult life, and inside the relationship you're trying to figure out. I'm Dr. Tanner Wallace, survivor and founder of CPTSD Medicine. I left academia to build what I couldn't find anywhere else: a sophisticated, applied path through complex trauma that takes the intelligence of survivors seriously — including the hardest question it raises, whether you can heal inside the relationship you're in or whether you have to leave to do it. Each week, I share my take on the lived experience of CPTSD so you can recognize what's actually happening to you, stop mistaking it for a personal failure, and tell the difference between a relationship that's hard and one that's harming you. CPTSD can be resolved. This is where you start to see why. Visit cptsdmedicine.com to explore working together.
