Interviewee has a physical body and thoughts, as these are separate things – would the interviewee still be himself if he lost an arm? Also gives an insight to understanding interviewee’s grandmother suffering dementia, though she still has a physical body, who she is as a person has gradually slipped away. Who a person is, is not restricted to only the mind or body but also includes multiple other layers to evaluate and explore. This theory gives a description of the dimensions of human personality or the dimensions of the self. One does not have to interpret each of the layers literally, but instead use the description as an additional lens through which to view our experiences in the human body. Based on the model Dr. K breaks down the interviewee’s diagnosis and concerns, showing how each of the layers has been attacked and damaged in different manners through the first example, “sluggishness”. Sluggishness is not only present on the physical layer, but also on the energetic layer. Medication can give some temporary healing to the physical layer, so interviewee can then use this buff to build up a resistance through meditative treatment on the energetic layer. Continuing, interviewee’s diagnosis, Complex PostTraumatic Stress Disorder can also be explored in similar manner. While PTSD is defined by symptoms that arise in notes by Zreativity response to a traumatic incident that overwhelms one’s ability to cope, CPTSD describes a long-term condition that can occur after chronic exposure to traumatic events over a period of months or even years. Dr. K explains how PTSD does not necessarily have to destroy one’s sense of self, and exists on the emotional layer, whereas CPTSD fundamentally destroys one’s sense of human being and is on the spiritual layer. Therefore, to treat CPTSD, medication can give a temporary buff towards the road to recovery – but will not be able to get rid of sense of hopelessness in the long run. Concerning the main question, “Can I be fully healed?” Dr. K explains that the process of “full healing” would require for the interviewee to heal each of the layers, and points out that the things he had been previously healing was not on the corresponding layer the damage had truly been done on. For the treatment to work, it would first need to align with the sources of the problems. For a physical problem, you need a physical treatment. For an emotional problem you would need talk therapy, for CPTSD one must figure out why are you here and why do you deserve to live. If treated accordingly, Dr. K is confident interviewee can achieve complete healing. Sources HealthyGamerGG (2020, 3. June). "Can I be Fully Healed?" from C-PTSD | Dr. K Interviews [Video].
