About this meeting
This Sunday meeting focuses on complex post-traumatic stress, often shortened to CPTSD, and runs online at 6pm, UK and Ireland time. Within Adult Children of Alcoholics, growing up with a parent's drinking or other sustained family dysfunction is understood as a source of complex trauma, and this group gives members space to talk specifically about how that trauma shows up in adult life, from triggers to relationship patterns. It sits alongside general ACA meetings rather than replacing them, offering a narrower focus for those who want it. The meeting is open, so friends, family members and professionals interested in the fellowship are also welcome to listen in.
