Recognize CPTSD – Not in the DSM. Unseen Doesn’t Mean Unreal.
Just because they don’t name it doesn’t mean it’s not real.
This advocacy mug is for every survivor who’s been overlooked by systems, misdiagnosed by providers, or told their symptoms “don’t fit.”
Featuring a bold brain graphic stamped with “Not in the DSM,” this design makes a clear demand:
Recognize CPTSD.
Because Complex PTSD may not be in the manual, but it’s in our bodies, our relationships, our nervous systems—and our everyday lives.
The phrase “Unseen Doesn’t Mean Unreal” affirms what survivors have always known:
You don’t need validation from a system that was never built for you.
Product Details:
:: 11 oz ceramic mug (black or white)
:: High-quality sublimation print (bold design, long-lasting message)
:: Microwave + dishwasher safe
:: C-handle for a steady, grounded hold
