Top Red Flags in the Therapy Room That May Point To cPTSD

In response to the great question from one of our viewers after our last video on PTSD and Complex PTSD, I wanted to share some top red flags I look for in clients who might be suffering from CPTSD. These signs include patterns of negative self-talk, self-blame, self-deprivation, and an overwhelming sense of shame. CPTSD can deeply impact our self-image and our perception of the world. If you resonate with these signs or want to learn more about CPTSD, feel free to reach out to us at the Counseling and Wellness Center of Pittsburgh. We're here to help you navigate your symptoms and heal from past traumas. 💙

20 years of therapy and not one professional picked this up in me. Therapists need more knowledge on CPTSD, even if it’s to recognise that they’re not equipped to do the treatment and refer you to someone more qualified.

I hear your frustration, and it's regrettable that your past therapy experiences haven't fully addressed your needs. Recognizing the importance of therapists being well-versed in cPTSD is crucial. We acknowledge the need for continuous education within the therapeutic community to ensure practitioners can identify and effectively address such complex issues. Your insight highlights the significance of therapists being aware of their limitations and making appropriate referrals when necessary.

Top Red Flags in a “Therapist”: Neck tattoos and odd piercings

[@counselingwellnesspgh]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions when it comes to personal preferences in choosing a therapist. It's essential to remember that professionalism and competence in therapy go beyond appearances.Therapy is about the expertise and support a professional can provide, not the presence or absence of tattoos or piercings. Our therapists are dedicated professionals who prioritize providing high-quality care to our clients.
