While the DSM-V is brash enough to suggest a finite list of events that can result in PTSD, no one who understands the nature of trauma could, or would attempt to produce such a list. Trauma is highly subjective and what traumatizes one, does not necessarily traumatize everyone. Also noted, often it is not one event, but an accumulation of events over time that result in the symptoms. Likewise, some of the most severe trauma leaves no conscious memory of the event. While resolving the event with TIR, presumably the unconscious memories would be significantly recovered, but prior to resolution, they may well be a complete mystery. PTSD is also the only category in the DSM-V that includes as a required diagnostic criteria, a specific type of causal event. By requiring the presence of a specific identified causal event that matches one of the randomly selected events listed in the DSM, the authors have denied countless people suffering from this constellation of symptoms, a diagnosis, which is often indispensable under nearly any funding protocol for receiving benefits or treatment. Likewise, the term Disorder was retained despite strong support for injury - as both reflecting the nature of the damage done and for its less stigmatizing connotation, which might have encouraged more sufferers to seek help and reduced the bullying within many organizations of those afflicted.
