Personal Stories

[Kizzie]

I've added a new section to the web page section of OOTS called "Personal Stories" - see http://www.outofthestorm.website/personal-stories-of-complex-ptsd/. 

Have a look and if you're interested in contributing your story just PM me.  I am writing my story and have a couple of others who are doing so but more would be appreciated.

quick question, kizzie - what's the purpose of this?  just curious, cuz i might be interested.

There are a few reasons I thought telling our stories might be useful.  I hope it will raise awareness by putting a human face on the disorder and help those who don't have CPTSD to understand what we experience.  I would love if it also helps underscore the seriousness of the disorder and the need for more and better trauma informed treatment globally.  And last but not least I hope that it invites readers who have CPTSD to consider joining the forum. 

That would be great if you want to contribute (but no pressure  )
