Continuing the Secure Love Club's discussion of Chapter 1 of Pete Walker's Complex PTSD, Julie Menanno goes deeper into the experience of complex trauma and the first tasks of recovery. The group explores how chronic childhood wounding shows up in adult relationships as reactivity, shame, hypervigilance, and difficulty feeling safe even with a loving partner, and how simply naming these patterns begins to loosen their grip. Julie ties it back to attachment theory and the practical work of building security within yourself, one small step at a time. You will come away understanding how your past quietly shapes your present relationships and where the healing actually begins. Reassuring and clarifying for anyone doing the tender early work of connecting their childhood experience to their adult patterns. The full discussion is inside for members.
