mTBI, PTSD and Stress (Catch All)

[Ethereal]

I'm interested in the use of terminology as well.

I am having a hard time with the concept, as I can visualize this geeky dorky psychologist trying to use terminology they are unfamiliar with to "identify" with combat vets, and my first, gut reaction is anger. (Actually, with one exception, psychologists in the past I've encountered automatically engage my "anger" response.)

It would take a skilled individual indeed to avoid coming off as phoney in my mind's eye.

I've found in my own journey that one of my hot spots is posers, or folks acting as if they "understand". Because frankly, most have no frame of reference.

Long time reader..... first time poster,

Can you share some of your experiences which have made this such a "hot spot" ?
