The test sucks, but what else would you expect from a commercial outfit trying to essentially sell you on a book or expert (who totally can remember what they read in the book they read) to fix all your life problems? If you want to try out CBT just nab a book with libgen and therape yourself.


Is there anything that explains this in more detail?



I agree that they are massively overselling the applicability. The PTSD wikipedia article only says that 19% of rape victims get PTSD, so by that standard people getting traumatized from nothing should be pretty rare?

But, if anyone does go in for therapy CBT is the only therapy shown to do anything substantially better than just talking about your problems. Idk how huge of effect it is or even if the term has been repurposed since I looked into it. It used to mean forcing yourself to recognize a contradiction in your way of thinking through multiple sensory channels at once, in an effort to form a new neural connection to pre-empt another unwanted pathway. This aspect of it being a physical thing was quite compelling evidence to me, but maybe it shouldn't have been because I never looked into how they observed the generation of the detour and determined it was actually in use. It was also compelling that they focused on definite logical contradictions in examples, not some "people can heckin' love you for who you are!" cope and optimism.



The unwanted original neural pathway here would "trauma" or at least the physical origin of the issue. I don't think this critique is helpful because lots of people believe in shellshock-type PTSD. I think people call this other more questionable stuff "complex PTSD".



An axolotl is a pretty clever mascot with their indeterminate growth and being evolutionarily described as "peter pan" for something to do with their embryology or whatever you call it.

There's a good Aporia article on this

The myth of human fragility

Humans are not fragile creatures. They are resilient. And trauma is almost certainly not a widespread cause of mental illness.

Post proof mental retardation is bad.
 
I believe whatever framework that underpins this test is terribly biased and confusing correlation with causation. The questions are basically just asking if you have difficulty communicating and whether you have a fear of rejection. A person who has these traits in their childhood would probably be more likely to be bullied or socially ostracized, and I suppose they have a higher likelihood of developing trauma, but it's a huge stretch to say these traits come from trauma. This is the nurture over nature theory on steroids, actual pseudoscience.

For the record, I scored 35/40.

I'm 5'3 and he literally picked me up by the neck whilst choking me so I ran away from home and when I came back just shouting, no physical stuff. It's a long story actually it was epic

So I broke the key, he strangled me over it and then I screamed, mom told me to stfu, tripped on glass and ran off, he told me never to walk through the fucking driveway again, I walked for 3 hours, shoes were full of blood bc heeled boots, got to exs house who I coincidently hung out with. It was 1am and I cried and fell asleep in his arms

It asks very vague questions, and my own approach when taking a questionnaire with Likert scales is to pick the extreme option if I can instead of partial or neutral for accuracy's sake.
