Developmental Trauma
Developmental psychology is the scientific study of systematic psychological, emotional, and perceptional changes that occur in human beings over the course of their life span. Originally concerned with infants and children, the field has expanded to include adolescence, adult development, aging, and the entire life span.
Symptoms and Progression
Complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) is a psychological injury that results from protracted exposure to prolonged social and/or interpersonal trauma with lack or loss of control, disempowerment, and in the context of either captivity or entrapment, i.e. the lack of a viable escape route for the victim. C-PTSD is distinct from, but similar to, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In researching my condition, I have come to the personal conclusion that C-PTSD is the result of external dysfunction that impairs psychological development at any point in childhood. Instead of the normal progression of psychological development that most children follow from infancy to maturity, development is stunted or perhaps never achieved at all. This perspective has helped me to go back through my inventory and isolate many of the events that pertain to my worst flashbacks. I was able to correlate my emotions and behaviors to development expectations and, ultimately, to seek my own growth. I effectively became my own internal parent. nurturing the re-growth for myself.
