CPTSD or Personality Disorder? (Compilation)
Spread The Viralist



Cluster B personality disorders are post-traumatic conditions. As such they are indistinguishable from sufferers of CPTSD (complex trauma). But CPTSD is transient and curable.

  1. A person with CPTSD and a person with BPD are told they need to trek up a mountain in order to heal their trauma. The CPTSD will trek up the hill, slipping and falling on the way but will continue the journey up the mountain. The person with BPD will fill a backpack with substances and jump on someone’s back to hitch a ride up the hill complaining about how bumpy the ride is while figuring out how many lawsuits for the uncomfortable journey up the mountain! The difference between CTPSD and BPD😄

  2. Would OCD behavior be self soothing and if so does that mean people with OCD are borderline. Especially since some people with OCD are meticulous in one area of life and chaotic in another seems like dysregulation.

  3. I broke my record for number of times I had to rewind on this video. It was a hefty record, far as your videos go. 😂
    Long way to go, but starting to absorb. Thank you for this information, Sam Vaknin.

  4. Ha, my mother, when I was a child- we don't shut the bathroom door in this house. We are an open family. 😅😮
    My therapist, recently- your mother should really be somewhere, she could be a case study.

    Indeed. 😂😢

  5. I would like to hear your thoughts on the work of Dr Gabir Mate. He talks about how abnormal behavior is normal reaction to trauma. And that's something you seem to be hitting on in the beginning here.

  6. I understand it is normal or easy for a narcissist/ psychopath to tune you out when you talk to them and for them to not acknowledge and/ or dismiss your feelings and thoughts. Is there any study that shows that they are emotionally effected by a letter (written words).When they read someone's thoughts or feelings, does the written language connect within their brains in a away that they can't dimiss what is being expressed to them.

  7. Yes, I found that CPTSD and borderline symptoms were very, very similar during my research. Which is interesting since historically borderline personality was generally considered a female condition. But also women were largely being abused in their homes.

    I don't agree, ppl with Cptsd also have identity issues and impulse issues, interpersonal relationship issues, etc….

    Exactly, I agree with your second group of scholars. Absolutely, emotional disregulation is a huge part of CPTSD. Absolutely, I agree.There doesn't seem to be a distinction between the two, this is the point I made in my dissertation.
