Testing a talking therapy for complex trauma recovery

This trial is testing a psychotherapy approach called Lifespan Integration (LI) to see if it can help people with complex post-traumatic stress disorder—a condition that often develops after repeated or prolonged trauma like abuse or neglect. The therapy is delivered by trained therapists and focuses on helping your mind process difficult memories across your entire life story. Researchers want to understand whether this newer type of talking therapy can reduce PTSD symptoms and improve your quality of life.

Complex PTSD can be very difficult to treat, and many people don't respond well to standard therapies. This trial exists because researchers believe this new approach might offer real relief for people whose trauma has deeply affected how they think, feel, and interact with others.
