The (Complex) PTSD Guy

Stepping out of my comfort zone and building my ability to fix things I know nothing about. Briefly mention the book Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. This book is about the importance of quality. Finding beauty in what irritates me, my car breaking down, and understanding the importance of quality in life.

What happened in my life today that is a pet peeve of mine, and how I turned it into a positive. Also, today would have been my grandmother's 104th birthday. Her name was Lavora Gray and she was an expert at keeping a calm head. I value having had her in my life into my adulthood!

Review of Saffy in regards to three episodes from season 3. Again, this is my own personal opinion based on my own Complex PTSD and my opinion of Saffy. Favorite scene ever is mentioned. I'll be doing more on this character, in about a week, based on the other seasons they did years later.

Further review of the character Saffy, from the comedy TV series Absolutely Fabulous, in relation to Complex PTSD. Why I think if this were a real person Saffy would have developed CPTSD. Episodes from season 2.

I give my opinions about how I could see Saffy, from the comedy TV series Absolutely Fabulous, being an example of someone who could develop Complex PTSD from long-term psychological abuse. BTY, this is my favorite show of all time.

Recent events and positive changes in my own life. I mention Joyce Meyer on YouTube, she's very inspiring for helping me see things more positively.

Final review for I, Tonya. Tonya gets into the 1994 Winter Olympics and her world turns upside down in a matter of days. This was such a big ordeal I actually never knew Nancy Kerrigan was able to perform in those Olympics. Learn something new every day.

Further review of I, Tonya, and leading up to the 1994 Winter Olympics Figure Skating competition. Will do part 3 tomorrow.

Review of the movie I, Tonya. I chose this movie based on the abuse Tonya Harding endured, according to this film. I believe this is a good example of what a childhood of someone who has Complex PTSD can look like, of course trauma comes in many forms.

The Punisher, a brief chat and where you can watch the series for the next seven days until will no longer be available. Next podcasts on the I, Tonya movie and character of Saffy from Absolutely Fabulous.

Mention English comedian Tom Ward and the talk about the Sad Clown paradox. Also talk about other famous comedians who have dealt with emotional/mental pain. Favorite comedy shows that lighten my mood.

Final review for American Sniper. More details about The Punisher and real details related to the characters and making of this movie. Next podcast will be about British comedian Tom Ward who focuses on his own Complex PTSD.

Second review for American Sniper. Chris meets his nemesis and his trauma is showing up in his home life.

My review of American Sniper, part 1

Final review for Manchester by the Sea. Critique on characters who were dropped from storyline, and wish the ending had more of a solution for the character with past trauma.

Further review of Manchester by the Sea. Opening up when you have PTSD can take time but we see it finally happen. There will be one more review, after this one, for this film.

Review of Manchester by the Sea and I reference a few comedies related to PTSD because we need to laugh at ourselves sometimes. I also discuss a comedian I came across, Tom Ward, who focuses on Complex PTSD.

WOW, the ending of this movie was shocking and did not disappoint! Final review of Mystic River. Well written movie.

Part 2 review of Mystic River. Movie about a character with PTSD. Very impressive movie!

Give a review of Mystic River. I am doing a few reviews of movies that involve PTSD.

Give some details about what my next few episodes will be about. I'll be reviewing movies, TV shows, books that relate to PTSD or trauma.

Recently mentioned to someone that I wonder sometimes if maybe I have traumatic brain injury from an extreme car crash years ago. She recommended trying to see a neuropsychologist and I explain here what that is and how they treat you/what they test for.

Episode about ways to cope with irritability and anger. Found a hilarious YouTube channel where a woman and her husband, Jen and Jay, talk about some of great shows and movies, it's called Real Housewives Recaps. It's hilarious 😅

Interview with author Heather Carter about her book on transformation and hope and healing: Soul-Selfie.

My review of The Catcher in the Rye. I haven't read this since high school but in my opinion, and others agree, this is a book about a youth with PTSD. I've always loved this book and appreciate it even more after reading it as an adult.
