PTSD and CPTSD with Rachel Bilksi, PTSD UK

The Sunflower Conversations

Our guest is Rachel Bilski from the charity PTSD UK. PTSD stands for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and is typically associated with veterans. However, it isn't only veterans who can develop it – And Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, CPTSD, is less well known and, therefore, can take longer to diagnose.
Rachel's lived experiences of CPTSD contribute to her work as a lecturer and supervisor for the Minded Institute for Yoga Therapy Training Institute. We put your questions to Rachel during this conversation and learned about the differences and nuances between PTSD and CPTSD.
We look into the complexities of emotional flashbacks and the varied manifestations of symptoms that can profoundly impact daily life.
