A lot of people have heard of PTSD, but fewer know about complex PTSD (C-PTSD). PTSD was first named as a mental health condition in 1980. C-PTSD is a newer idea. Both PTSD and C-PTSD come from going through difficult or scary experiences. Their causes and symptoms are what differentiates them.

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. This is a type of therapy that can help accelerate someone's natural healing state, especially when that individual may have unresolved past trauma.
