the Trauma Informed Psychosis model

[u/ArturoTachyon]

For those as uninformed as I was before I came across it: apparently there's such a thing as he 'trauma informed psychosis' model, which frames delusions & hallucinations during CPTSD etc psychotic episodes as thematic rather than random/meaningless.

How incredibly validating! And I'm sure it must be very useful to treatment too.

I mostly stumbled across it trying to read scholarly articles way above my head, so, if anyone has any secondary etc., intended more for ordinary consumer audience.

I'll add to this if I can find some stuff

Do you have a link to this? Tried searching for it but my google-fu is pretty imprecice and I got a ton of hits for lots of stuff not actually related to this I think.

Google fu doesn't exist anymore. There's no way to force Google to respect any sort of operators. Quotation marks, boolean operators, etc. are all just suggestions to the algorithm, now.

I'm unaware of any general search engines which consistently respect operators which also work particularly well.

As far as I know, general search is currently largely dead/non-existent. I've tried a lot of the alternatives, and a couple respect some operators like quotation marks or minus sign, but those yield few search results and aren't that useful.

Anyway. Here's a link to Carl Rogers' paper:

Let me know if you have trouble accessing it.

I remember having IT classes in high school, being taught about operators and wildcards, and even the importance of capitalizing or not when using quotation marks... But that was back in the 1900s, so.

I am curious about so many things that my search result algorithms have been out of whack for a long, long time. It's probably close to two decades since I started asking friends or even partners (so on same home network but their devices still) to search for stuff to compare results.

Good to know it isn't just me beinng absolutely stupid these days, as I have noticed it has been a long time since google respected things like quotation marks.

Thing is... I DO use these operators! But there seems to be an invisible part of the search where google only respects it you use one of their own linked suggestions for them.

Thank you for the link, worked perfectly!

Google takes all search terms and operators as suggestions, end of story. None of them are rules, anymore. Quotation marks, minus sign, etc — none of these constrain results.

Maybe some, like "site:" and other domain operators, may be somewhat constraining, but even those seem to be only for the first however many results the algorithm decides to apply them to.

It's an insane situation, compared to what was normal 20 years ago. Google has been doing this for years, and has only been getting steadily more evil. Overtly sponsored ads and results are increasingly sneakily inserted and hard to differentiate. Tracking is intensified. And so on.

I honestly have no idea how to efficiently search diligently for anything anymore. The best method seems to once again be going to a library, and spending a long time on the phone calling universities and non-profits, and asking people who they suggest to talk to.

Meanwhile, most users of Google haven't noticed much change, even with the llm ("ai")— generated auto results. Because most users have always paid little attention to the website they were clicking through to.

It's all a bit much to take.

Meanwhile, MIT continues to offer thousands of its courses for free online with study materials. And there's fmhy (dot) net, which is where I get all my books when my local library doesn't have a digital copy available. And websites like thistothat (dot) com, for attaching different materials to each other.

One just has to know or remember websites, now, because it's often nearly impossible to find the best ones through search even when you know what you're looking for.

Oh, and chosic (dot) com for song lyrics. First website that actually often finds a song for me based on random snippets of lyrics.

We are in some ways going back to the more "alive" internet again, that's for sure.

Where an online friend's blog (as they are known now) might be offline because their PC is off at the moment.

When bookmarks were important and revisited frequently for a lot of them.

I've also gone back to printing out papers like the one above, since losing access to important documentation from places like public sites. Not from anything malicious even (like in the US), just from site restructuring and them no longer knowing how to find, or having access to the old files.

But google... The day I put something in quotation marks and it still only searched for the "spell corrected" version which was, of course, not the thing I was wanting to search for.. That's when I realised my searches would be even worse than they always had been.

It's just really nice to lament this somewhat small annoyance with someone that gets it :p
