In this article, we will explore how trauma, particularly Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD), Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), chronic pain, inflammation, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), and other chronic illnesses, are interconnected.
When individuals experience trauma, their responses can vary widely, leading some to develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) while others may experience Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG). The positive transformation process of PTG is often characterized by increased personal strength, improved relationships, greater appreciation for life, and a deeper sense of purpose.
