Complex trauma does not automatically = CPTSD.

The flashbacks.
The patterns that track throughout someone's life.
Following them.
Chasing them.
That distinction matters because when we collapse the two the depth of the dissorder is not acknowledged.
CPTSD is a disorder in the most literal sense.
The disorder or time, memory, bodily functions.
