Other I Don't Have Ptsd Nor Any In My Family. I'm A Psychologist

[StarChild]

But, we're so damn paranoid that we scare everyone away with the third degree after we become paranoid that everyone here is a liar and a fraud.

@Solara, don't make generalisations like "we". This isn't fair. For I'm also not going to say "WE" are constipated, when in reality it just means I'm constipated. Understand what I'm trying to say? Also don't make accusations, when you don't have real proof.

A quick Google search shows that CYPD is; Coaching Your Personal Development

She has a blog, however I am unclear as to the 'motive' -it. is all very new. The English and grammar is not great so I suspect the poster that mentioned a second language is probably correct. The Blog has advice although at this stage does not appear to be 'selling' anything.

I do hope she will come back and tell us more.

The blog I found with that name has been deleted by the author.....But I fall into the paranoid category so don't read too much into that ;)

 

[Lucycat]

Its still there. I would post a link but then I am simply giving her more promotion!

 

[shimmerz]

I know I said I was out of this but....can't trust anyone these days. They are selling, as far as I can see Life Coach services. No likes, no tweets.

Found it - change of blog host by the looks of it.... I'll go back to making myself a new tinfoil hat now. :D

Maybe my last post was inappropriate. I waited for a response as well. The longer one didn't materialize, the less I thought the poster is a legitimate mental health care provider. I have a tremendous dislike for trolls. I have a tremendous dislike for people pretending to be trained mental health care providers. Is the OP a troll? We may never know. The OP hasn't bothered to follow up on the questions others have asked.

Honestly though:

I decided to come here to see what real people think, feels about this disorder.

This thread should be giving him/her/it/other a good cross section of our population that is willing to post. Some of us are willing to share our deepest secret(s) on the internet because we feel "safe" at home on the internet. Many of us are paranoid. Many of us are hostile to trolls, the list goes on, and is showing up in this thread. I'd say we are showing her exactly what "real people" with PTSD think, feel about this disorder.

Sure there are a multitude of text books, but information such as is available on this forum is world-wide and varied, and can supplement formal education.

CYPD said "instead of" books, not as a supplement to.

@Solara I don't think this translates to someone saying they're a rape survivor then being asked if they were really raped. It is more comparable to people sometimes being asked if they have a diagnosis if their posts seem unclear or even questionable. CYPD declared themselves a psychologist (twice) and offered "help" but did not say how they could help or what their qualifications are.

I think a psychologist might be tough enough to answer questions, might expect to say what their qualifications are and would understand why people with a disorder, who they had offered to help, might ask them.

I suspect the intention is material for their blog. If that's the case, they could have said so. If it's not, they could clear up all the confusion.

Think as you wish, there is no implied obligation to satisfy the paranoia of the board.

 

[Hashi]

There's no implied obligation to refrain from asking questions if you think a post is questionable.

 

[The Albatross]

I think you all are expecting more from a professional (self professed albeit) than you are for any other registered member. But that's just my take. My former shrink read here and told me not to participate, by the way. Just for the record.

It is my classroom. It never fails to teach me something. This thread has taught me plenty.

I just did not like that the OP asked if we have questions, when they are here to learn. They should be asking questions. I feel many parts of PTSD research are ignored. For example if one goes to google scholar then they will see numerous published and peer reviewed articles about psychotic features along with PTSD. But it is never mentioned. I have honestly lost much respect for the mental health system and I feel like they are all very closeminded and judgemental. I especislly hate psychiatrist because I have dealt with so many incompetant ones!
