Study Notes
In this video, the speaker discusses PTSD, complex PTSD, and borderline personality disorder, including what they call complex BPD. Complex BPD refers to individuals with BPD who also have comorbid conditions, which is common, with only 3% of individuals with pure BPD. The video goes on to describe the symptoms of PTSD, which include re-experiencing the trauma, avoiding traumatic reminders, and a persistent sense of threat manifested by increased arousal and hypervigilance. Intrusive, upsetting flashbacks of the traumatic event, difficulty sleeping, avoidance of thoughts, people, or places that remind one of the event, difficulty recalling key details of the event, holding overwhelming negative beliefs about oneself and the world, feeling constantly tense, nervous, anxious, or on edge, and experiencing sudden bursts of frustration or rage are all symptoms of PTSD. Complex PTSD, which is prolonged exposure to trauma, includes these symptoms as well as additional symptoms that identify a disturbance in self-organization, such as effective dysregulation, negative self-concept, and disturbances in relationships or avoidance of intimacy.
