welcome to the healing and c-ptsd community
The healing and c-ptsd community began as a grassroots Instagram collective of complex trauma survivors, coming together to share their experiences, strength, and hope. Today, we've grown into a web-based platform dedicated to providing connection and resources for those healing from Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD).
​
Our mission is to shatter the isolation and shame that often accompany complex trauma. We understand the difficulty of trust and connection, which is why we’ve created a brave space where you can feel seen and supported. Through our weekly Q&A series, live events, and interactive tools, we aim to offer comfort in the knowledge that you are not alone

About The Healing and C-PTSD Foundation
The healing and c-ptsd community is powered by The Healing and C-PTSD Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness about C-PTSD and advocating for those affected. With C-PTSD still unrecognized by the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), many survivors go without validation or proper care. Our foundation fights for change by raising awareness, offering education, and connecting survivors to vital resources that promote healing and recovery. We provide a compassionate and supportive space for those impacted by complex trauma, ensuring they are not alone on their journey. Through our programs, workshops, and advocacy efforts, we aim to bridge the gap in mental health care and empower survivors to reclaim their lives. Together, we are building a community of resilience, hope, and lasting change for individuals living with C-PTSD.
The Healing and C-PTSD Chronicles is a powerful and insightful virtual publication dedicated to raising awareness about Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) and offering guidance, support, and resources for survivors. Each edition features expert insights, survivor stories, and practical tools for healing, helping readers navigate the complexities of living with C-PTSD. Through thoughtful articles and interviews, the Chronicles aim to educate the public, break the stigma surrounding trauma, and provide a voice for those who have been impacted by C-PTSD. Whether you are a survivor, supporter, or mental health advocate, The Healing and C-PTSD Chronicles offers a space of understanding and empowerment.
About the Founder
Hi, I’m Dani, a fellow survivor of complex trauma and the creator of this community.
​
I was diagnosed with C-PTSD at 32, and for the first time, I had a name for what I had been experiencing my entire life. This understanding was transformative for me, and it launched me into a deeper level of healing. But I quickly realized that I wasn’t alone—there were countless others going through the same struggles. That’s why I started this community: to give survivors like you the support I found through connection.
​
While I’m not a mental health professional, I am dedicated to using my voice to create space for important conversations about trauma. I’m still on my own healing journey, but I believe, with the strength of this community, that healing is possible for all of us.
