More Than The Trauma: Living And Healing With C-PTSD With Nikki Everett
What does complex PTSD feel like when nobody else can see it? Ruby speaks with author, trauma educator and former justice-system professional Nikki Everett about living with complex PTSD, dissociation, flashbacks and a nervous system that remains on high alert. Nikki shares how workplace violence changed her life, how journalling became her book Uncomfortably Comfortable, and how she rebuilt her identity after trauma. Together, they explore nervous-system regulation, recognising triggers, supporting a loved one with PTSD and finding strength, purpose and even beauty after surviving the darkest parts of life.
