Why is getting a Complex PTSD diagnosis so difficult?
Since Recovery Code X launched in 2019, we’ve come to the realisation that Complex PTSD is a little used term in health centres and consulting rooms. Increasingly, traumatised people are doing their own research online, joining mental health forums and social media groups, to research their symptoms and seek help.
We asked our Community Bubble focus group of mental health workers, clinicians and service users for their thoughts on why this might be.

Welcome to RECOVERY CODE X
We are a community organisation advocating holistic techniques to help people on their healing journey of transforming the effects of Complex PTSD (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder).
Placing creativity at the heart of recovery
In June 2022 we launched The Creative Café, a space for victims and survivors to share their poetry and art, giving voice to stories rejected or denied, buried and forgotten.
The Creative Café is a place to share epiphanies and challenges, lyrical venting and artistic creations to extricate feelings, images. Abuse thrives in silence and dismissal of the truth. Healing comes with acknowledgement and retelling of stories.
Email us your submissions for consideration: creativecafe@recoverycodex.org
