What is PTSD
Traumatic events have serious consequences.
Sometimes, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD emerges from a traumatic event. C-PTSD relates to exposure to repeated trauma. Both syndromes are identified by their symptoms, rather than the event itself or retraumatization process. Gezinta delves into the many forms of trauma that are part of life, and healing as a means to finding the meaning of life from the perspective of people with the syndrome, using intensely personal knowledge and drawing on the research, guidance, and advice of trained professionals, researchers, and sages.
How to Complain About a Lawyer Without Losing Yourself
This is how a war of attrition functions. And it’s why winning the case mattered in the first place: because behind every complaint number is a person, and behind every institution is a choice about whether it protects the vulnerable or compounds their suffering.

Legal Regulators: When Lawyer Accountability Fails, the Public Pays the Price
When the regulator lacks institutional courage, the individual must therefore exercise personal courage- but without sacrificing their identity or remaining trapped indefinitely in the struggle.
Complainants put their lives in the hands of a lawyer, and when they're let down, the legal regulator becomes the focus of their hopes. Legal ethics matter- it is real human people whose lives are at stake.

Gods of Law (And Other Myths of the Extraction Machine): Abuse of the Legal System
Many lawyers, it seems, have a God-complex- the unshakable belief that they are infallible, supremely powerful, or superior to others. [Spoiler alert: It's a myth]. But this firm belief- that they can extract what they want, from who they want, when they want- is the core of the extraction machine, which delivers systemic injustice through abuse of the legal system.

Bullying In The Legal Industry: A Quick Rundown
What will ring true to trauma victims is a more recent observation on Justice. In his work Pensées (Thoughts), French philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal found that:
"Justice without strength is helpless, strength without justice is tyrannical." Pascal
But still, justice is not law, which is the codified set of rules that, in theory, society puts in place to create an orderly society. Technically, these rules set out to serve justice, but the lawmakers are politic

The Architecture of Injustice: Why the System Protects Power, Not People
Cicero said, "The worst kind of injustice is to look for profit from injustice."
And across centuries, the same warnings of the ancient repeat: justice erodes the moment power learns it can cloak its self-interest in the language of law. And people still seek access to justice, yet sometime find only injustice in the legal system.

Propaganda Wreaks Havoc In Families: How F**kheads & Flying Monkeys Destroy Their Family To Get Their Own Sweet Way
Propaganda, the spread of vicious lies with the very specific intent of creating a particular narrative in the short term to grab power and resources in the medium to long term, isn't limited to Nazis. While they may have almost perfected the dark, destructive art of propaganda that has been prevalent throughout history, most political parties now spew propaganda as a matter of course. Many governments, particularly authoritarian ones , do so as a matter of course. So do narc
