The (Complex) PTSD Guy

I was just interviewed for a short 2 minute podcast episode. Wanted to share. Also some future episode notes.

I wanted to share how I'm reminding myself to stay sober using a visual daily reminder. And I am giving a preview of things I would talk about on my history podcast.

I used to rush to be over the pain, but I'm trying a different approach and actually taking things one day at a time. Accepting things as they come.

Some things that might help you too.

I wanted to share what's happening. I'm finally opening up to people in my life and that is huge. I wanted to share my history podcast before I deactivate this podcast, won't happen tomorrow.

This is my last episode. Take care everyone. And no, I won't be doing a history podcast either. Love you.

Yeah. This happened.

Something unexpected happened tonight.

What I'll be discussing in upcoming episodes, and one last point about recent episodes.

Just a few tips from a dating coach about what to watch out for when dating. Struggling with interpersonal skills is a symptom of Complex PTSD, so this should be relatable.

Wanted to share something off topic that may help you in an emergency. This happened to me tonight. This is off topic from my typical Complex PTSD talk.
