“Self-inflation is the rule in life,” wrote Robert Trivers; hence his conclusion that we fool ourselves so as better to fool others. This explains a lot of why smart folks truly believe in toxic stress, ACEs, and complex PTSD despite the obvious lack of scientific evidence.

My new letter to the editor. IMO, an interpret-to-fit-worldview crisis is a bigger problem than the replication crisis. An uncommon pre-trauma prospective study supported diathesis stress theory only but the authors spun a 'body keeps the score' narrative. Ugh! Link:

Fake trauma science meets nutrition. Meet Meg, a nutritionist and a trauma expert. She uses the polyvagal theory, debunked long ago, but still useful to the ‘body keeps the score’ believers. Move over medical research. It’s about feelings.

How has liberal progressive capture of academia shaped trauma therapy? Clinician on Utah TV: “trauma can be about what didn’t happen” and permanently molds personality. “Humans Are Fragile” is their brand trademark. What if dad didn’t buy you that pony?

TED experts say ACEs is the #1 public health crisis in the world! Move over cancer, infectious disease, climate change, war, health disparities — it’s feelings. Read this TD post at your own risk; if you find it discriminatory, your brain may get rewired and your DNA torn. Link:

“What unites these TED talks is not science, but storytelling of a post-modern leftist progressive foundation that civilization is oppression. Each speaker wraps a kernel of truth — that adversity affects people — in layers of exaggeration. Terms like “rewiring,” “toxic stress,”

According to TED Talks, apparently trauma causes: 7 of the 10 most lethal diseases Addiction Dysfunctional Black culture Bipolar Psychosis TED Talks have officially diagnosed many of humanity’s problems. My review of over 34 trauma talks is… brutal.

I watched every TED Talk on trauma so you don’t have to. According to TED: – Trauma causes every bad thing – ACEs kill you 20 years early – Therapy heals your DNA Basically, trauma is the new astrology. Read the full circus:

It finally happened. Some readers had asked for a concise, peer-reviewed critique of The Body Keeps the Score. 🔥🔥It’s open access, so everyone can read it — even people who think trauma made them do it. You’re welcome, science. Evaluating evidence behind popular trauma

NEW Trauma Dispatch: What TED Talk experts know about trauma. 3.7-minute video montage! The TED Talk organization claims it takes science seriously. So why do they get nearly everything wrong about trauma? Link: https://t.co/JkdYPFvpAJ

Trauma-informed care is a liberal progressive delivery device. Neo-Marxist ideology all the way down.

We need to stop calling everyday misfortune and hardship “trauma.” It’s confusing, unhelpful, and distorts what PTSD actually is. My new post breaks down why psychiatry defines trauma as life-threat, and why clarity matters for healing. Link:

Apparently, your latte served wrong could now be discrimination trauma. In reality, trauma means something very different — and much narrower. My latest post untangles the word that’s lost all meaning. Link to post:

We’ve stretched the word trauma to cover everything from hurricanes to heartbreaks. But psychiatry draws sharper lines. My latest post explains why definitions matter. Not all trauma leaves a scar. “In a landmark 2009 study, Kilpatrick, Resnick, and Acierno found that 96% of

NEW Trauma Dispatch: Are You Traumatized? The different uses of the terms “trauma” and “traumatized” are confusing. Here’s how to think about them. Link to post: https://t.co/3CLTvTuiRv

"The continued popularity of complex PTSD is a hoax created by a self-reinforcing echo chamber of believers who conduct these studies and who peer review and edit the journals. Because complex PTSD is not a valid disorder, its supporters have to conduct surveys of themselves to

For two decades, “complex PTSD research” has meant sending surveys to believers—asking them to diagnose fake patients, recall old cases from memory, and rate their own opinions. It’s not science. #TraumaScience #JunkResearch

Extract from the demographics table of this complex PTSD study. Shows that the survey was sent to mental health clinicians, most of whom had sought out training in complex PTSD. It’s no surprise that they believe barriers to complex PTSD exist. Just unreal.

NEW Trauma Dispatch: How to manufacture data to ‘validate’ complex PTSD. Researchers who support complex PTSD repeatedly send surveys to themselves and conclude that they found evidence that complex PTSD is real. Unbelievable. Link to post: https://t.co/2oqLM3Z04d
