Hello everyone:
I am a Psychology grad student studying for my doctorate in Psychology. I have specialized in PTSD and counseled for years. I am bringing up the topic of PTSD, because of an interesting case I recently had. I was counciling a woman who was manic depressive. Her regular therapist identified she had symptoms of PTSD, although he did not know why- and referred her to me. By the way symptoms of PTSDare as follows: Period of your life you cannot remember (i.e. Years of your childhood completely missing, substance abuse, manic depression, and increased sexual desires or greatly decreased. The woman after several sessions confided she believes she had been abducted by aliens. She remembers various things occuring at night to her, by the so called grey aliens. She drew me pictures etc. and was very convinced of the matter. However, as I am a specialist in PTSD, I continued to push the limits with regressive therapy. One thing you must know about PTSD is that the human brain is very complicated. Often a person can go their whole life with not remembering the incident that occured, even minutes after the event.
Back to the story, after intensive therapy the woman identified and remembered she was sexually abused by her father. After identifying, the aliens at night no longer came around. In therapy many of the things she identified the aliens as having done her Father had done to her. She confronted her Father and discussed with other family members and others had been abused as well. What happened to her occured to others in her family.
I am writing the story as a warning to members of the list. The human brain is very complex and can try to hide things, but it always comes out in another way. I have sent a research paper into several publications. I will post later to the group where it is accepted.
