In a follow up to the episode, Understanding PTSD, she highlights the similarities and the differences between CPTSD and PTSD. Michelle delves into the symptoms of CPTSD including challenges with emotional regulation, trust issues, and relationship difficulties.

Michelle sheds light on important questions such as:

How can CPTSD affect your health?

How can it affect your faith?

Is there help and hope for healing? 

Sharing real life stories, practical and honest explanations and personable encouragement, she reflects on how a correct understanding of God can help with understanding and symptoms, and emphasizes the importance of seeking out those specialised in trauma and CPTSD should therapy be needed.
