CPTSD Isn’t Rare — It’s Just Rarely Recognized Tee – Advocacy Collection
We’re not few. We’re just unseen.
This tee says what millions of survivors already know:
CPTSD isn’t rare—it’s just rarely recognized.
It’s not that Complex PTSD doesn’t exist.
It’s that systems, providers, and institutions have failed to name it, understand it, or support the people living with it.
This shirt is a call-out and a call-in—to dismantle the myth that CPTSD is uncommon, and to demand visibility for a diagnosis that affects countless lives.
Because when you minimize what you don’t understand, you silence the people who need the most care.

What Does This Shirt Stand For?
It stands for:


The truth that CPTSD is widespread, especially among survivors of childhood trauma, relational abuse, systemic harm, and emotional neglect


Recognition that not being diagnosed does not equal not being real


Challenging the invisibility of survivors in the mental health system


Advocacy for diagnostic reform, trauma-informed care, and survivor-centered spaces that actually see us


This is visibility. This is truth.
This is a shirt that speaks for all of us.

Perfect for:


CPTSD survivors who’ve lived undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for years


Therapists and trauma-informed professionals pushing for change


Advocates fighting for recognition, research, and reform


Survivors tired of being told they’re “too sensitive” instead of systemically failed


The “there are more of us than you think” crew
