Hi Wookie

In response to this statement:

"I'm curious to know:
1. How do you feel about this statement? Can you prove it's accuracy or inaccuracy?
2. What are your experiences with CEN and how has it shaped and affected your daily life?

I have no knowledge about the relation of CEN and personality disorders so if anyone would be willing to teach me I would really appreciate it.

I look forward to some input!"

I have to honestly say I'm not a mental health professional so I can't offer a professional perspective.

I am not qualified to prove it's accuracy or inaccuracy - a well trained pdoc might be able to shed some light but I doubt they're members on this forum.

I guess it would come down to personal opinion and experiences then.

So I don't think we could really prove / disprove its accuracy as we aren't involved in studies on this issue.

On a personal level, yes, I believe my personality disorder does stem "somewhat" from childhood neglect, but I believe that there are many other factors that contributed to this. That's just a drop in the ocean.

Hope that helps.
