        There is also no dose–response relationship, no link between severity or frequency of traumas and PTSD, as this great review by Scott Lilienfeld shows. I am a bit flabbergasted that some want to rescue the obsolete idea of fragility at all costs. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0272735807002048# …!pic.twitter.com/FfnQYeiM1p

        Bonanno specifically refers to large prospective studies, which exclude that interpretation.

        Question: do you think that, if the opposite idea (i.e., of near-universal fragility) is widely disseminated and believed, it could bring about that very fragility?

        I am rather sure that something like a self-fulfilling prophecy is at play. Some derive a perverse satisfaction from perceiving others as fragile, i.e. victims. And psychologists tend not to spread the good news. Why kill the goose that lays the golden eggs?

        See, I think this grievously misses the point. It thinks of PTSD as a disorder of trauma. It's not. It's a social disorder of reintegration. PTSD is the individual's normal response when society fails to allow them moral and emotional reintegration into society.

        How does hypervigilance and increased cortisol overall map into your “failure to allow moral and emotion reintegration”? There are symptoms of PTSD that are expressed even in private, when there is no “society” to integrate with.

        And so the temporal course is wrong. Most people experience a sudden adrenergic stress response. But PTSD is not a continuation of that. It is a totally new trauma that happens when society refuses to allow healthy ways of coping.

        If Structural Dissociation theory is correct, then PTSD is the fear of your memories and emotions. Lack of access to healthy coping would be a way to form such a fear.
