OOTS is a recovery focused support forum and information website (https://www.outofthestorm.website/) for survivors of complex relational trauma (i.e., repeated emotional/physical/sexual abuse & neglect/abandonment) who suffer from the symptoms of Complex PTSD, also known here as Complex Relational Trauma Response. The forum is English speaking but members come from all around the world. As of Nov 12th, 2025 there have been 13,887 registrations by survivors from 87 countries. There is no cost to join or participate in the forum. Please note that non-survivors are welcome to read, but not join the forum.

Please direct any questions or comments to Kizzie at l.herod@yahoo.ca.
