Participants will be randomly allocated to either a treatment group (Survive & Thrive: Psychoeducational material for complex and interpersonal trauma) or a waiting list intent-to-treat group.

Baseline assessments will assess trauma history and level of complex trauma symptomatology to establish eligibility.
Baseline measures:
1. Traumatic Antecedents Questionnaire ? Revised version 3 (TAQ, van der Kolk, 2010)
2. Self-Report Instrument for Disorders of Extreme Stress (SIDES-SR: van der Kolk, 2002)
3. Young Schema Questionnaire?Short Form 3 (YSQ-S3: Young, 2005)

A university-based statistician will assist with the randomisation of all eligible participants. Participants will be assessed blindly by the research assistant on four occasions: before treatment, post treatment as well as at 1 month and 3 months follow up. Therefore, the last assessment will be at week 17. Assessments will be conducted by means of standardised scales.
