Good article with a bad headline

Good article with a headline intentionally misrepresenting the point maliciously.

she’s right and i haven’t read the article BUT what she’s describing here is the difference between PTSD and C-PTSD. the latter is the condition that arises when the trauma is ongoing or lasted for a long time or has other complications. it stands for complex post traumatic stress disorder but i really think it should be entirely separated from the PTSD umbrella because the symptoms and more importantly the recovery projections of when you’re in one emergency and get traumatized are profoundly different than symptoms and recovery projections for when you live in Gaza or were abused for ten years by your parents or partner or are repeatedly victimized by attacks from clients or dates etc. PTSD recovery and therapy is so rooted in “we have to teach the patient to understand they will never experience this again so their hypervigilence and anxiety are irrational” that it just doesn’t address the reality of people who will absolutely get traumatized again and know it
