Childhood Sexual Abuse and Complex PTSD (Stoning Demons)

By Kimberly Callis

Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) is one of the most heinous abuses a person can suffer. CSA is often experienced with other forms of abuse and neglect, creating an imprint of psychological conditioning, conflict and injury. Many who suffered abuse develop complex post-traumatic stress disorder. Adversity in childhood is known to have lifelong effects. Abuse disrupts the path of normal development, leading to a wide range of psychological and physical conditions. These conditions can emerge later in life, yet have their origins in the family environment. CSA creates ongoing adversity that begins in childhood and escalates as a consuming, persistent inner conflict that continues to re-traumatize long into adulthood. This leaves the victim vulnerable to increased stress response throughout life and has a direct correlation to quality of life and longevity.This eBook is focused on CPTSD as it relates to childhood sexual abuse. It looks at the effects of recurrent traumas and chronic stress for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse, based on available scientific and medical knowledge.
