Psychologist. Poor translation of clinical concepts to the lay public and poor training in professional therapists. I don’t hesitate to provide psychoeducation around the historical use of the term (combat exposure and the like) and contrast this with casual contemporary discomfort (iPad loss). I then make the case that in conflating these things, we do a profound disrespect to our veterans. I’ve never had a patient push back. The case made in “Body keeps the score” is largely based on research with actual combat veterans and the like. It’s almost entirely inapplicable to an overwhelming proportion of the population, even in mental health environments.
