What would be helpful at this point is that we've gotten far along enough in care that patients could really help distinguish the lexicon since many patients are now much more able to manage their symptoms and be coherent about what is occurring for them. Just like we can describe different degrees and kinds of dissociation, different kinds of flashbacks, different kinds of self harm, different forms of ideations. A ground breaking psychologist right now would start using the self reported data of patients to better classify what we experience and what is useful in those situations.
