Kasva, our angy teen alter Mick has intense flashbacks complete with auditory haulucinations and even visual ones at times. We thought she might be psychotic and asked T. He said "no" and said that in our case it was because Mick holds the most painful memories and she was having flashbacks. He explained that flashbacks are a normal result of PTSD while psychosis is not.
Because he is an expert in psychiatric testing and evaluation, I can accept what he said and that made me feel a lot better knowing it was not psychosis.
