Complex post-traumatic stress syndrome (C-PTSS) is a syndrome that happens when events occur that involve repeated, prolonged trauma with harm or abandonment by a caregiver or other interpersonal relationships with an uneven power dynamic.

The Soothing Benefits of Peppermint
I successfully use Peppermint essential oils to relieve anxiety on a regular basis. Its application soothes and uplifts and is felt within minutes of applying the essential oil to spots on my body or in a diffuser as aromatherapy.
Let It Go; What does that mean?
I hear this phrase frequently. It seems to be a catch-all for unanswerable questions that come up in therapeutic settings. It’s also a cop-out used casually by people who don’t want to deal with the issue at hand. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been told, “just let it go!” Wouldn’t it be amazing if it were that easy?
The Rosemary Plant Boosts Memory & Mood
If you cook, you’re probably familiar with this aromatic herb that is used regularly in our cooking routines with meats and vegetables. I sure took it for granted! There it was right in front of me my entire life and I had no idea that Rosemary had such wonderful attributes that positively affect the human senses in more ways than simply taste.
Forced Deportation Trauma
Forced deportation is a breeding ground for Post-traumatic Stress Syndrome on so many levels. Deportation of immigrants is a horrible business.
