There are MRI findings of PTSD that are interesting and since the two PTSD and CPTSD are related, one can say the findings would be similar. See these articles below:

That there is an answer why. Sometimes, as an adult, I didn’t know anything else I could do but sit in my favorite chair and feel it was the only place I felt safe. When I child I sat on my bed away from everyone and read books in order to feel safe. It’s sad that it took its toll on my brain functions but nevertheless it does answer why I struggled with perceived dangers for such a long time. Not quite as bad these days as I sought healing from the trauma. Is there a relation between healing and brain mri results and healing in the brain. That would be interesting.

for instance. I particularly need to notice your ability

need to be sure of every aspect of my writing to meet inquiring minds with quality information and keep their interest until the end of the article.
You made me see it till the end
