The podcast episodes provided discuss the differences between Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). While these conditions are related, they represent distinct symptom clusters.

C-PTSD is characterized by avoidance, negative self-concept, and emotional numbing, in contrast to the externalizing behaviors often seen in BPD. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment, as highlighted in the "Understanding Complex PTSD and Borderline Personality Disorder" episode.

The "Surviving Narcissist Abuse with Dr. Sherrie Campbell" episode also touches on the concept of C-PTSD and its manifestation in survivors of emotional abuse.
