Reply to "Complex PTSD"

Thank you Alicia for your response. 

I understand that there are SO many labels touted as appropriate and therefore ACEs is the best way to cover them all, yet I feel somewhat disappointed that there isn't such a simple single banner/label such as complex PTSD, as to me it cuts to the core and allows everyone 'out there' to be somewhat on the same page. And it will take a long time for everyone to immediately have some grasp as to what this 'condition' means in terms of understanding in the general public's eyes.

I think the ACEs structure and resiliency test enables this general understanding in terms of numbers.  That is such an excellent start.  How to proceed after this is less clear to me, and therefore probably less clear for those not working in the health field in the varying capacities. Indeed in my experience with therapists, many seem to not know about how to go forward, and have much to learn in the understanding of trauma based therapy etc let alone the general public.

I'm not trying to push any agenda at all, I'm simply passionate about improving lives in society as soon as possible.  Everyone who posts here does seem to be pretty much on the same page, so I'm trying to reach out to all of you for a wider discussion.  Or have you all got to the point where you bypass such a discussion as deemed necessary as ACEs and trauma based therapy covers it more succinctly and effectively?
