Profs in MH services seem overly concerned with making others “aware” of “PD” & how to “manage” these patients. But nobody seems to want to be made properly “aware” of how trauma might affect them. Trauma Informed Care is mostly mentioned in the context of *justifying* poor care.

“Ah yes. She was sexually abused as a child, and this is why she developed a personality disorder. This is called trauma informed care. We need to make sure this lady doesn’t become dependant on our services though. And do watch out for splitting and manipulation”
