You know something happened to you. Getting it written down is a different fight.
This downloadable PDF guide by Dal Sahota, Clinical Hypno-Psychotherapist, tells you exactly what to say, who is legally allowed to diagnose you, and what to expect at every step of getting diagnosed with Complex PTSD (ICD-11 code 6B41).
What’s inside
- What CPTSD is as a formal ICD-11 diagnosis, and why the DSM does not include it (and what that means for US readers)
- The honest truth about what gets written in your medical record
- Who is legally allowed to diagnose you
- A universal five-step pathway that works in any country
- Country-by-country routes, with real costs and waiting times, for the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand, France, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland and Portugal
- A method for mapping any other country in about an hour
- Five appointment tools: an ICD-11 symptom checklist, a word-for-word script for the appointment, comebacks for a dismissive doctor, a 14-day symptom diary, and what to do after the assessment, including if you are told no
- A complete no-diagnosis path for people who cannot or do not want to pursue one
