The one bright point is that the passengers - who, after the initial flurry of emergency services, have now been largely abandoned at Market Harborough - have all been suitably respectful and engaged in mutual support.
Perhaps our society isn’t beyond fixing.

(In fact the precise words I would use are “Taking a young woman with textbook CPTSD and a history of SH, and prescribing her a placebo with no further support, seems wildly unethical. Let’s both hope you don’t end up having to defend that decision in a coroner’s court”.) 😒

Push for a referral to specialist psychotherapy. It is only incompetence means that you are not under them already.
Also inform him that current NICE guidance states that propranolol has little to no psychiatric benefit, so using it to replace antipsychotics is unsupported.

Flashbacks aren’t a symptom of EUPD. He’s just plain making it up.

(Also there is literally no evidence base for propranolol beyond lowering heart rate/blood pressure, so he’s basically saying “let’s take you off your psych meds and rely on a placebo!” He’s a quack.)

To be fair, voices CAN be a symptom of CPTSD, so I imagine that’s where he’s going. It doesn’t make them any less real. That’s basis my current therapist is working from.
But just cutting your meds without a long term plan is absurd.

Just watching a disabled senior psychotherapist having accommodations, which have been in place for 15 years, withdrawn one by one, making her job progressively less tenable, and thinking: no shit.

Commonly “Cool, so you stand at the edge of the stage doing sign language?”
I’m an audio describer. For blind people. Strangely, sign is ineffective.

There is even a distinctly Punchdrunk-esque bit where she lunges at an audience member, lip syncing in their face, and ricocheting off them.
She is seven. I’ve paid for less impressive performances.

Anyway, I love this girl and hope she goes to the best beauty school. And I’m really cross that I live in a city with sufficient poverty that a thoughtful 17 year old is having to stake her future career on the sum of £190.

I cannot decide whether this is better or worse than #Gigantosaurus, in which the velociraptors are dangerous because they - *checks notes* - make snarky comments and steal your fruit…?
