Sorrel,
I haven't seen the postings which you are referencing. However, I am aware of the stigma that often gets attached to Axis II disorders, i.e. Personality Disorders. I think it is one of the biggest problems in mental health care.
I want to thank you for choosing the following words: ". . . early developmental wounding." That is a phrase I had not heard before. I think it very sensitively and accurately characterizes what has happened to those suffering from personality disorders, especially narcissistic tendencies.
I also want to thank Ygrec23 for the phrasing: "God's little snowflakes," which is a beautiful metaphor that I had never heard before.
I once heard a mental healthcare worker suggest that any one of us could very possibly qualify for, at the least, a diagnosis of PD NOS. That suggestion resonated favorably with me.
