"...I think that the healing professions in general are remiss in not
considering in every case that presents signs of depression, low self
esteem and hopelessness that CPTSD should be considered not as a
diagnosis, but as a path towards cure and away from the abuse. When the
victim of CPTSD is counseled to seek a path of survivorship, like
classic PTSD, the cure for the curable makes a lot more sense then
trying to treat the little Hitler’s of the world..."
Amen, to that.
