CPTSD - The Effects of Complex Trauma on Brain Development (Season 1 Finale)

Exposure to complex trauma in early childhood leads to structural and functional brain changes. Structural changes alter the volume or size of specific brain regions. Proven structural changes include enlargement of the amygdala, the alarm center of the brain, and shrinkage of the hippocampus, a brain area critical to remembering the story of what happened during a traumatic experience. Functional changes alter activity of certain brain regions. These include overproduction of stress hormones in childhood that can wear down the immune system and lead to depletion by adulthood of hormones necessary tolerate and recover from stressful situations encountered in daily life.

this is really important to understand, it gives us amazing insight to how our brains change due to the trauma we experience as a child and I have 2 articles that are really good examples and show us what goes on inside the brain when we experience a traumatic event.

PLUS!, there's more evidence in the articles that show that many of us who were diagnosed with ADHD are likely actually suffering from CPTSD!
