Okay, hopefully this post works!
How about I simplify it? This is how I see it.. Simple means one traumatic event or isolated to a singluar period of time. Complex means more than one event and spanning numerous time spans or entire life span. So symptoms for both will range accordingly (also taking into account range of coping skills etc.)
So when I say I have complex, that means that I have had numerous traumatic events spanning many years (okay, okay, my lifetime thus far.)
It is not worse nor better. As everything, there are strengths and weaknesses to this!
