All the Acronyms Have My Head Spinning

blueAngel00 June 1st, 2023

There are so many acronyms and abbreviations here in 7 Cups.

Is there somewhere that has a list of them all that I could reference? Trying to Google all of them is exhausting, and besides, by the time I get one or two done, I forget what the first one was that I looked up *yikes*

BTW, this isn't an acronym, but what exactly qualifies as "complex trauma"?

Thanks in advance to those of you kind enough to answer.

@blueAngel00 Hey :)

*Tw just in case*

Complex trauma is from childhood. Repeated or ongoing long trauma. It could be from SA and/or incest. On going physical - mental and emotional abuse. Chronic neglect or abandonment. Medical abuse or trauma. Being held hostage. Trafficking. Growing up in a war zone

If there's acronyms you're not sure of - you're always welcome to ask 😊 It might be easier to have them all in one place for you

@mytwistedsoul and @beck1

Thank you both for your replies. And big thanks for clarifying the complex trauma term for me. I think I might make it my temporary life's ambition to ask every time I do see an acronym, or abbreviation, or unfamiliar term, (and I will ask, if for no other reason than to verify I was correct in my guesses! lol) and then start a document to catalog all of it by categor(ies).

Then I'll give it to 7 Cups and maybe they can have a spot for it somewhere for people like me who are ignorant of most of it.

Or am I overthinking again? ;o)

But thanks again to you both.

Hi lovely Angel, it's so good to see you again!❤

This post is currently in Trauma Support community, so are you referring to terms related here? Or

Do you means 7 cups related acronyms and abbreviations? Or something more general?

In general though for acronyms and abbreviations, I'm with you Haha, so many to keep track of. I made this forum thread here for similar purpose- https://www.7cups.com/forum/welcome/Icebreakers_2095/Acronyms_295659/

Feel free to share/ ask any you come across here as well!

Ofcourse google to the rescue other times! *-*
