I am reading the «Epilogue to the 2015 Edition» of Herman's book, and I've picked up some new articles she recommends on trauma treatment, and I see she delves into the recent change in diagnostic criteria and lets us know which of the versions best fits her theory of C-PTSD. Small wonder...

This is beautiful @DharmaGirl and you got to the crux of the matter. I see the general opinion in this thread is let's not explore C-PTSD, but if I'd open a thread about that I want to say I'd value your opinion, if you'd choose to weigh in, and likewise for other forum members; I feel this is a...

I see I got off on the wrong foot, from the first post, and instead of going «others aren't reading me right», I'll say the humbler and more likely thing: my writing hasn't been clear from the get-go. I don't want this thread to be about me. My disorder is not a result of bullying, but I have...

You're a bright guy. I like your posts. We've pretty much explored the topic of the filiation DPDR 48.1 with the rest. The question now is the new definition of C-PTSD in ICD-11. I think it's a worthwhile question. Perhaps it should be asked in a separate thread, thus making it clear we've...

It's a simple question. Do you subscribe to this definition of the etiology of C-PTSD: a psychological disorder that can develop in response to prolonged, repeated experience of interpersonal trauma in a context in which the individual has little or no chance of escape. Or do you subscribe to...

I aim to be courteous and polite when I reply, ascribing others the best intentions, so I am surprised this thread has caused ire. But I'll summarize the discussion we've had, making it easier to see where we talked past each other. I made the thread to discuss whether DPDR F48.1 should be...

Now I've got a copy of Trauma and Recovery on my Kindle. I see it begins with «The ordinary response to atrocities is to banish them from consciousness», and goes on into the history of shell shock, ignored studies, ignored scientists, the Vietnam war, rape, and though I haven't gotten far into...

I'll get around to your post soon, @Sideways. Thank you for it, btw. Good and thorough writing. It's kinda hard to keep up with the discussions, as there seems to be hours from I click «post» till something is posted. Guess it's cause I'm a new member with restrictions, or maybe because my...

And «Bat out of hell» has got a new ring in these times

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade he said, to which the girl replied «But how am I supposed to make lemonade out of my dead grandmother?»

Your thoughts? Optimistic about the novel therapy, or think it'll fall flat, or something else? At the time of writing, there are currently twenty clinical trials on PTSD, chronic PTSD and treatment resistant PTSD on clinicaltrials.gov, where they use MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy.

Yes! And what you replied to there was the description of DPDR F48.1. It's brought about by severe trauma, and treated by going to therapy and dealing with triggers. And yes, exactly like PTSD/C-PTSD it's hard to recover, notwithstanding treatment. Yes, it clears up what you were saying. And...

Thanks for asking. Shortly I can answer yes, no, yes. But I can make a separate thread about myself later, and get into those questions. Appreciated, and thanks for contributing. Like @Teasel I went to the NHS website to read up on C-PTSD but didn't find anything on how you need have regular...

Is that all to C-PTSD. It's only PTSD and then some? I have been reading on them, and they seem to share much, and differ much. On the etiology of C-PTSD: a psychological disorder that can develop in response to prolonged, repeated experience of interpersonal trauma in a context in which the...

This was encouraging, that you feel the thread's central points are pretty much established knowledge, along with the new umbrella term «FFF disorders», which you feel can be justified. It's what I was aiming for. To show and build arguments for why lumping together PTSD, C-PTSD and DPDR makes...
