Hello from London uk!

white male here recently diagnosed as having complex ptsd - CPTSD and so I was looking up videos on the condition and came across this amazing interview.

Thank you for educating me, it’s so important because people like me have been part of the problem and now we have a responsibility to be part of the solution and that means educating us about issues that have never crossed our minds. Thank you 🙏
