First, the good news about CPTSD. It is a learned set of responses, and a failure to complete numerous important development tasks. This means that it is environmentally, not genetically caused. In other words, unlike most of the diagnoses it is confused with, it is neither inborn nor characterological. As such, it is learned. It is not inscribed in your DNA. It is a disorder caused by nurture (or rather lack of it) not nature. This is especially good news because what is learned can be unlearned and vice versa. What was not provided by your parents can now be provided by yourself and others.
