I get what both of what you are saying and I think you both are right. I guess it would be emotionally painful to dig through the core trauma. So much of what we talk about is just surface trauma, so getting into the core of things could really be bad. I really don't think the T's will get the CPTSD training they need until it becomes a diagnosis itself. Pete Walker's book and website is the best for getting the truth about CPTSD. I look through the book when I have a question mostly and usually find something to put me at ease. Thanks for responding.
