What is even more insidious is if your own abusers adopt the clinical methodology and label you with a condition (ADHD in my case) such that you as a young person are incentivized to forget about the abuse they themselves perpetrated. I have lost decades of treatment to this exact phenomenon and it was completely iatrogenic.

I no longer think any label suits my lived experience anymore other than "traumatized", which is something that happened to me (as opposed to "ADHD", which is something I am).

It did not "happen to you". It was done to you.
