@Ellis564 @LnzyHou @thewebrecluse I look at the therapy first. Find out what the trends are vs the solid "this helped me with x' approaches are. An example, prior to CPTSD being added to the DSM, it was just bundled under PTSD. A common therapy for PTSD is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT is a rough ride for CPTSD. When dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT) came out, it was a much better approach. I started with CBT and went back for a tune-up when I found a person who had used it.
@thewebrecluse @Ellis564 @LnzyHou I am also keeping my eyes on the LSD / Ketamine / psylocibin studies. They have had some astonishing results.
@jasod @Ellis564 @LnzyHou I am ALLLLL for Ketamine and psylocibin work. It has proven incredibly effective for A LONG TIME it just took this long for that knowledge to become public and accepted. Absolutely look into it even now if you're interested. Many practitioners are switched over to these methodologies from traditional psych even in my area.
In that sense you may also be interested in (if you havent already seen)
How To Change Your Mind
@thewebrecluse @Ellis564 @LnzyHou I found the studies at the base of the Netflix documentary about it. They aren't over-selling it! The data are "mind-blowing"
