That’s a wrap, twittervision! Great job this year and good luck with all of your endeavors! #rwjblymanor

Dani maybe experiencing some symptoms of dissociation? #rwjblymanor

[Caitlin Schroen, MD @md_schroen]

Sounds like Miles and Flora repressed the traumatic memories #rwjblymanor

[Caitlin Schroen, MD @md_schroen]

Dani seems to be struggling in the aftermath of all the chaos #rwjblymanor

[Caitlin Schroen, MD @md_schroen]

Hannah seems to effectively be utilizing grounding techniques #rwjblymanor

[Caitlin Schroen, MD @md_schroen]

Viola seems to be re-experiencing the same trauma over and over again, similar to what happens in PTSD. Also seems to be experiencing dissociative symptoms as well which supports the diagnosis #rwjblymanor

[Caitlin Schroen, MD @md_schroen]

Wonder if Viola is experiencing some symptoms of delirium #rwjblymanor

[Caitlin Schroen, MD @md_schroen]

Looks like Hannah has been using denial as a defense mechanism against processing her own death #rwjblymanor

[Caitlin Schroen, MD @md_schroen]

Extremely common for victims of childhood abuse to show anger towards the other adults in their life for not protecting them #rwjblymanor

[Caitlin Schroen, MD @md_schroen]

Seems like Peter grew up with some manipulative parents. Has to have an impact on his functioning as an adult #rwjblymanor

[Caitlin Schroen, MD @md_schroen]

@AnyanwuBrian Something is certainly going on with her #rwjblymanor

[Caitlin Schroen, MD @md_schroen]

Isla has made several statements implying that she feels numb and has no empathy for others #fidlerthediscovery

[Caitlin Schroen, MD @md_schroen]

This bring up the phenomenon of suicide contagion- the idea that suicides tend to occur in clusters #fidlerthediscovery

[Caitlin Schroen, MD @md_schroen]

Hannah utilizing grounding techniques to stay in the present #rwjblymanor

[Caitlin Schroen, MD @md_schroen]

@AlexanderAL904 Yes. In general we seek out what is familiar to us. If we grow up in a chaotic or emotionally neglectful environment we may (subconsciously) seek this out in future relationships. It’s only when this is brought to our conscious mind that we can change the pattern #rwjblymanor

[Caitlin Schroen, MD @md_schroen]

Rebecca may be right in saying she’s been with men like him before as we often repeat bad patterns in relationships. Something she could explore further in therapy #rwjblymanor

[Caitlin Schroen, MD @md_schroen]

Rebecca is describing quite a toxic relationship #rwjblymanor

[Caitlin Schroen, MD @md_schroen]

@AnyanwuBrian I think we should also include some kind of dissociative disorder #rwjblymanor

[Caitlin Schroen, MD @md_schroen]

Owen finding meaning in his mother’s illness is a healthy coping strategy #rwjblymanor
