How PTSD and cPTSD Develop1:31 – 5:08

Tara McKelvey-ParkerHost

1:31

when we're talking about PTSD versus complex PTSD, the type of trauma matters.

B

Brindle DossHost

1:38

Yeah.

B

Brindle DossHost

1:40

The type of trauma mat- definitely matters.

B

Brindle DossHost

1:41

I think when you think about, uh, PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder-

Tara McKelvey-ParkerHost

1:45

Mm-hmm

B

Brindle DossHost

1:45

... you generally think of a single incident or, um, a single event.

Tara McKelvey-ParkerHost

1:49

Mm-hmm.

B

Brindle DossHost

1:50

Um-

Tara McKelvey-ParkerHost

1:51

Mm-hmm.

Tara McKelvey-ParkerHost

1:51

A car accident.

B

Brindle DossHost

1:52

Sex- car accident, sexual assault.

Tara McKelvey-ParkerHost

1:53

Sexual assault.

Tara McKelvey-ParkerHost

1:54

Um, some kind of war or combat trauma.

B

Brindle DossHost

1:57

Yes.

Tara McKelvey-ParkerHost

1:58

Uh, something like that.

B

Brindle DossHost

1:59

Robbery, even.

Tara McKelvey-ParkerHost

2:00

Mm-hmm.

B

Brindle DossHost

2:01

Lots of different things can be experienced as a, a trauma.

B

Brindle DossHost

2:04

And what I think is always important to highlight is post-traumatic stress disorder is, is an interesting disorder that not everyone that goes through a traumatic event-

Tara McKelvey-ParkerHost

2:11

Mm-hmm

B

Brindle DossHost

2:11

... develops it.

Tara McKelvey-ParkerHost

2:12

Yeah, that's true.

B

Brindle DossHost

2:12

And I think there's the idea-

Tara McKelvey-ParkerHost

2:13

Uh-huh.

B

Brindle DossHost

2:14

There might be the idea that if you have a traumatic thing happen to you, that you develop it automatically, I guess-
