If you’ve had trauma for over a decade do you think it’s possible to recover? Currently awaiting diagnosis of CPTSD but wondering if a diagnosis will “cure me” as I know PTSD can be cured with emdr.
Trauma regarding bullying, nothing extremely hectic but very much affects my self esteem, ability to connect to others and ability to control my emotions on occasions.
What causes autism? Hint, I already know
What is the psychology of nighttime depression. I have been dealing with ever since high school. I feel like in the day time perfectly fine, but when it comes to nighttime. I get really bad thoughts and overthinking.
Have you seen an increase in the diagnosis of children who are suffering from things that are more readily diagnosed as coming on during someone’s late adolescence or twenties such as bipolar, schizophrenia, or even what I have, narcolepsy?
Thank you in advance.
It seems that with trans people, there is a disconnect or disagreement between the mind and the body. There also seems to be two schools of thought: that the body is right and the mind should be ignored (professed mostly by the political right) and, second, that the mind is right and should be affirmed (professed by the political left and most medical/psychological associations). Seeing as how you specialized in youth, what is your opinion on these two views when it comes to kids?
