YOU DON'T HAVE TO HEAL ALONE
Healing from complex trauma can feel incredibly isolating—especially when the people around you don’t fully understand what you’re carrying
Healing & CPTSD is a survivor-led community created so you can connect with people who understand, find resources and education, and navigate healing with community beside you.

HEALING ISN'T ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL.
Neither is what we need along the way.
Some days, you may need information that helps you better understand what you're experiencing. Other days, you may need connection with someone who gets it. You may want to learn, share, listen, connect—or simply know you're not the only one navigating this.
Healing & CPTSD was created to make room for all of it.
A community where survivors can connect, learn, share their experiences, access resources, and navigate the complexities of healing alongside people who understand.
Wherever you are in your healing, there is space for you here.
FIND WHAT YOU NEED, WHEREVER YOU ARE IN YOUR HEALING.
There are different ways to connect, learn, and be part of Healing & CPTSD.
Start wherever feels right for you.
WHAT OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE SAYING:
BUILT BY SURVIVORS. GROWING WITH SURVIVORS.
Healing & CPTSD began in 2020 with a simple purpose: to bring awareness to complex trauma, give language to experiences that often go unspoken, and help survivors feel less alone in what they were navigating.
What started as conversations online has grown into a community of more than 365,000 people—connecting through shared experiences, education, resources, live events, and spaces created to help survivors feel less alone in what they're navigating.
Everything we create is shaped by lived experience and by listening to the community we've grown alongside.
Because Healing & CPTSD has never been about telling people how to heal.
It's about making sure they don't have to navigate it alone.
"I created Healing & CPTSD because I knew how isolating it could feel to navigate complex trauma.
What started with sharing my own experiences has grown into a community shaped by hundreds of thousands of survivors finding, supporting, and learning alongside one another.
I may have started it, but this community belongs to all of us."

CREATING CHANGE BEYOND COMMUNITY
Healing & CPTSD proudly supports The Healing and CPTSD Foundation, an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit working to advance CPTSD awareness, survivor-informed research, education, advocacy, and systems change.
The Foundation brings survivor voices into the larger conversations and systems that shape how complex trauma is recognized, understood, and supported.
There are several ways to learn more and get involved.
