C-PTSD is notoriously difficult to diagnose. Many children are misdiagnosed and carry untreated trauma into adulthood. It never hurts to get a "trauma check" from a trauma-informed therapist. Don't be afraid to ask if they are specifically familiar with treating trauma.

C-PTSD is a category of PTSD with additional layers, like deep negative self-beliefs (terror, worthlessness, and helplessness). Hypervigilance can feel like a constant barrier—being jumpy and scared so much of the time. It’s a heavy weight to carry.
