I'm still debating about how much I want to know about what happened to me over 37 years ago, now. I've been trying to find the counselor who treated me over 20 years ago.
One of the new paradigm mental health workers in hospital told me personality disorders like NPD or BPD are just. Complex PTSD plus insecure attachments. I would add plus developmental déficits. If you have PTSD as a child, from childhood abuse, your atrachments are obviously insecure and you are not going to he able to develop normally.

Childhood trauma can have an effect without being a diagnosis. All of us have some childhood trauma.
