I also experienced substantial trauma as a child and as an adult. Is the onset time the important factor?
Me too. Symptoms in general are so unique to the individual based on so many factors including age and personal experiences. How two children in the same environment can be affected differently, etc. If I remember correctly, the excerpt posted about attachment therapy indicated it can occur from adult relationships as well. Honestly, about the new boards, I felt excluded since mine started in childhood. I was not planning to post there. Which is ok, since it helps others.
As a side note, I read an article about PTSD and why some soldiers come back with PTSD and others do not. They found that those who do also had difficult childhoods. I don't know how true it is or if it was an absolute, but thought it was interesting.
