  1. I learned from this video that there are numerous different approaches to dealing with mental health and that some solutions are more suited for certain situations than others. I learned that certain mental health issues can have unrelated consequences to the original problem.

  2. I believe that behavioral therapies can be the wrong thing for those with CPTSD (or possibly other trauma disorders). Just an opinion. But it can push people into triggering/dissociation and re-traumatize and in fact further entrench the trauma.

  3. Spelling matters. For instance, there's a big difference between "I'm going to see my psychotherapist tomorrow" and "I'm going to see my psycho therapist tomorrow."

  4. Thing about exposure therapy and other related therapies is that they only work when a person believes theyre in a safe space, otherwise it just reinforces the trauma as they act under the bias of a "worst case scenario" where it's something that cannot be forced really
