New Series: Highly Sensitive Persons (HSP) who have experienced Complex Trauma
After my previous interview with Dr. Lourdes Viado, on her podcast Women In-Depth, we realized there was so much more to elaborate on regarding Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) with Complex Trauma. We decided to develop a series on discussing various aspects of this topic. Our first episode in the series is out now. We focus on distinguishing Complex Trauma, especially for HSPs. We explore the differences between Complex PTSD and general PTSD. Also included is why diagnosing can be more difficult for HSP folks, especially if they have Complex Trauma.
Topics discussed in this episode:
- Complex Trauma and Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) (1:34)
- Challenges in recognizing Complex Trauma (3:36)
- Understanding high sensitivity (4:06)
