Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder* refers to those who have suffered prolonged, repeated trauma and abuse. This is often endured by those who have been in any totalistic, abusive, mind-manipulating group. Trauma is known to disrupt the chemistry in the brain.

A history of subjection to totalitarian control over a prolonged period (months to years) can result in CPTSD. Examples include hostages, prisoners of war, concentration-camp survivors, and survivors of some religious cults. Examples also include those subjected to totalitarian systems in sexual and domestic life, including survivors of domestic battering, childhood physical or sexual abuse, and organized sexual exploitation.

[ NOTE: Not every survivor will exhibit all of the following symptoms.]

Alterations in emotional regulation, including:

Persistent dysphoria (sadness)
Chronic suicidal preoccupation
Self-injury
Explosive anger or extremely inhibited anger (may alternate)
Compulsive or extremely inhibited sexuality (may alternate)

Are JWs creationists?

by Jeffro in

if you believe what is officially stated on the jw website, jws are not creationists.

.

the fact that the exact jw belief is in fact specifically called "day-age creationism" seems to have alluded them.

People that gaslight your brain with the intent of lying and distorting perception; with the intent to control you...... You need to get away from that abuse. That's the kind of stuff that makes people crazy over a period of time...

Gaslighting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gaslighting is a form of mental abuse in which false information is presented with the intent of making a victim doubt his or her own memory, perception andsanity. [1] Instances may range simply from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred, up to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim.

The term "gaslighting" comes from the play Gas Light and its film adaptations. The term is now also used in clinical and research literature. [2] [3]

Clinical examples

Psychologist Martha Stout states that sociopaths frequently use gaslighting tactics. Sociopaths consistently transgress social mores, break laws, and exploit others, but are also typically charming and convincing liars who consistently deny wrongdoing. Thus, some who have been victimized by sociopaths may doubt their perceptions. [6] Jacobson and Gottman report that some physically abusivespouses may gaslight their partners, even flatly denying that they have been violent. [3]

Gaslighting can also occur in parent-child relationships, with either parent or child (or both) lying to each other and attempting to undermine perceptions. [8] Furthermore, gaslighting has been observed between patients and staff in inpatient psychiatric facilities. [9]
