CPTSD Recovery
This is a personal curriculum reading list that was put together to help with understanding CPTSD and how to begin the journey to recovery. This list was created with people who identify as creative women in mind; however, the titles on this list are useful reads for anyone who wants to figure themselves out and hopefully live life feeling more at ease, safe, and confident.
