This is absolutely disgusting. I was abused by my parents and then gaslit about it for two decades. I have complex PTSD.
@simpleprogrammr is a scumbag for using "triggered" the way he does and saying gaslighting isn't real, among other things.https://twitter.com/simpleprogrammr/status/1192305274339463168 …

PTSD is hardly modern psychology, though. It has been observed for >100 years and is one of the most well researched and documented disorders that exists.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1297500/ …
Correct. PTSD exists, but not as it's currently defined by psychology. You should read The Body That Keeps Score to have a better understanding of it. The current misdiagnosis of PTSD make a mockery of people who have actually experienced it via war and severe physical abuse.

That book literally says "The trauma caused by childhood neglect, sexual or domestic abuse and war wreaks havoc in our bodies" which sounds exactly like what OP is talking about...am I missing something?
