Dear Ioanna,

Thanks for your question. I appreciated Daniela's references. I posted a similar question on complex PTSD on RG a couple of weeks ago. I've found the ISTSS Expert Consensus Treatment Guidelines for Complex PTSD In Adults very helpful. Please see the attached.

Stephen

Thanks Daniela, these references are great! I will definitely review them.

Thanks Stephen, I will look into these guidelines.

Best,

Ioanna
