Hello everyone!

My name is Amina and I am a BSc Psychology with Honours student at the University of Hertfordshire. I am also the principal researcher of a study that aims to investigate whether judging category relatedness within semantic memory can be influenced by the level of typicality the items have alongside whether high versus low autistic traits have any effect on the performance of different types of processing.

I am currently taking volunteers for this online study. Any adults aged 18 to 65 can volunteer and you do not need an official Autism diagnosis to take part.

In the study, you will be given an item/ definition/ scenario at the top of your screen and will have to decide which of two following words match best to that using your keyboard. After that is completed you will be given the RAADS-14 questionnaire to complete.

It will take roughly 15 minutes to complete. However, a maximum of 30 minutes is given for the entire study to be completed including the information sheet, consent form, debrief sheet, and the “breaks” given (which are just for momentarily resting your eyes and hands), otherwise I cannot use your data. Please note that this study cannot be completed on a mobile phone or tablet, it must be done on a computer/laptop as the keyboard is required for the study’s completion.

You can completed this study at anytime until 23:59 GMT on Friday 1st of March here:

https://research.sc/participant/login/dynamic/0D915D45-8D85-44F9-9B63-376AF0C70573

This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee at the University of Hertfordshire and is also being conducted under the supervision of Dr. Nicholas Shipp.

Your participation is very important for this study and is very much appreciated.

Thank you for your time!

Many Thanks

Amina

EDIT: Study is now no longer taking participants!!! Thank you all who took part and spread the word of my study, it definitely means a lot to me 💟

Karlach and cPTSD

The second of a two-part psychological deep-dive into Karlach.

Part 1: survivor's guilt

Part 2: c-PTSD

I will preface all this by stating I am not an expert in the field of Psychology, but I do however have a BSc Joint Honours in Psychology and Counselling, as well as a higher education certificate in Embedded Helping Skills (forms of therapy). I studied these conditions, as well has having first-hand accounts. I have access to, and use, papers accredited by the British Psychological Society as well my own copy of the DSM-5.

All of what I'm about to discuss is my own personal insight, it is not aimed to insult or diagnose anyone real in any way.

To start, what is complex post-traumatic stress disorder (cPTSD), and what is the difference between that, and PTSD? Both conditions share a lot of the same symptoms, but cPTSD sufferers have additional symptoms. However the main difference is length of time. PTSD can occur from a single event that causes enough fear and stress over a short length of time. cPTSD develops over multiple and repeated acts of trauma that expand over a longer length of time. It can also stem from a one-time event that lasted a longer time.

Note; cPTSD is a 'new' condition and isn't always acknowledged just yet. By new, I mean it hasn't been placed in such works as the DSM-5. However the DSM-5 does acknowledge a subsection of PTSD called 'dissociative PTSD' that encumbers a lot of cPTSD elements. So this may change in the future.

Secondary note; some experts suggest that cPTSD and BPD (borderline personality disorder) are similar enough to be under the same umbrella. However, BPD can occur without trauma whereas cPTSD is the result ONLY from experiencing trauma of some form. Hence, I do not deem it the same or similar condition and will not include any further assessments of Karlach having BPD. She doesn't fit the criteria.

This is why I deem Karlach to be closer to cPTSD, as her ten years in Avernus was not a short lived experience, nor was it without constant access to trauma.

So what are the symptoms of cPTSD, and how does Karlach relate/show them? First, a list, then I will go into detail. To state; one does not have to apply to every symptom, just enough to be deemed affected. So Karlach may not relate to all of these, but certainly most of them.

Hyper awareness of danger

Avoiding triggers

Flashbacks

Trouble staying in relationships

Difficulty regulating emotions - specifically anger

Frequent negative thoughts/emotions

Feelings of guilt/shame/survivors guilt

Hyper-awareness of danger

It's not really a stretch to say Karlach has this. As a soldier, especially in Avernus, she needed to always be aware of where the enemies were coming from. She always seems to be bracing herself for a fight as well. ie, when about to see the Inquisitor in the Creche.

Gale: "Perhaps he'll answer our questions."

Karlach: "We'll be lucky if he doesn't start off with a cheap shot, I think." - she is already preparing herself for someone to attack them. Her passive perception is also higher than average in DnD.

In her Origin, some camp sleep scenes show her withering around on her bedroll because her engine is getting hotter, mentally trying to keep herself going. Regularly repeating "I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine" as she starts thinking about Dammon being unable to fix her engine. Not wanting to think about what could happen if he can't.

Avoiding triggers

This one is more of her sticking her head in the sand about her condition. In all fairness, she doesn't really avoid triggers in the city ie Gortash - she doesn't have much choice. But she definitely gets more angry. Whenever her death is brought up by the player, she talks about it for a brief time before she tries to hide from it by moving the conversation away.

Karlach: "But I don't want to talk about this now."

It isn't until Act 3 does she start accepting her fate properly after her breakdown when Gortash is killed. (She made her choice in Act 2, but she often brings up wanting to keep on fighting for as long as possible - and killing Gortash is her main goal. Once that goal is gone her breakdown occurs. Most likely because she now has nothing else but to confront the fate she was given, making her angry.)

Player: "I haven't given up Karlach, we may still be able to fix your engine"

Karlach: "Maybe, but I think the Gods are trying to show me my fate. And I think I'm ready to look at it."

Flashbacks

This one isn't in the game. So I have no actual evidence of this. But I feel it's not a far stretch to think someone who has been in the Blood Wars for 10 years would have flashbacks on occasion. Especially as she gets closer to the city. She is also in more pain as the game goes on, this could mentally trigger flashbacks as a form of muscle memory. Her body remembers the pain, therefore would recall where this pain came from; Avernus. This is pure speculation, and just something I imagine for the character.

Trouble staying in relationships

As stated before, one doesn't have to fit all criteria to have a condition. I don't believe Karlach fits this symtom. She doesn't seem to have any issues maintaining friendships and a romantic relationship.

Difficulty regulating emotions

It really doesn't need saying that Karlach is an angry person in certain situations. She is very easily angered as well. Especially if it has anything to do with Gortash, Zariel (her tormentors who would consistently bring up her feelings relating to trauma) or if it involves people she cares for being hurt. She is quick to threaten those she doesn't agree with. During Act 1, fighting the Paladins of Tyr Zariel sends after her, Karlach has such an explosive episode she loses all control of her emotions entirely. Going on such a rage that she becomes incontrollable - by even the player in her Origin run - and there is little choice but to let her destroy the building. Only after 10 turns (that's 10 minutes in real time) does she start to calm down. During her breakdown after Gortash she goes from incredibly angry to incredibly upset without pause. She also shows signs of needing to be told to calm down, step back, back off by companions. Even in the romantic sense, as she can be told she's coming on too strong and the player wants to slow things down.

Player: "Let's take things slowly"

Karlach: "Slow...to tell you the truth, I often feel like I have two modes. Off and on-on-on! You might have to show me how 'slow' works."

She doesn't know how to be slow, has to be guided into taking calming breaths in her Act 1 romance scene. She needs help to regulate.

I personally believe Karlach was more of a Fighter before Avernus (before and whilst working for Gortash).

"I was a wild child, brawling through the city"

She never mentions killing anyone before the Wars. I believe the anger she felt after Gortash's treatment and the experimentation from Zariel caused her severe anger to best her, forming more of the Barbarian we know by the game.

Frequent negative thoughts/emotions

As stated before, Karlach Origin reveals internal thoughts she doesn't mention as a companion. Doubting her chances of survival is certainly a negative thought. Her breakdown reveals them in part in Act 3.

Karlach: "that's why I survived ten years of torment, the fighting, the clawing, the loneliness - the fucking loneliness! - all of it! So I can ROT!"

A natural negative emotion after everything she has been through and the hand she has been dealt. She does her very best to keep hiding away from these feelings and living as brightly as she can, so these thoughts/emotions aren't as prevalent as other cases, but it could certainly be said she has a strong façade even rivalling Astarion's to hide her true suffering.

How can she help herself? Well...it certainly won't be whilst she's still in Avernus. Pure speculation; but if she and whoever went with her survive the second round of Avernus, she will struggle. There will come a time where her mind has realised that she can finally STOP. She hasn't paused once in over a decade. Working for Gortash, 10 years in the Blood Wars, as soon as she's in Faerûn again - she has months worth of fighting, back to Avernus for who knows how long. It's highly likely she will hit the wall when it all becomes apparent just how much she's gone through. There are certainly things that can help her through this process; knowing the triggers (she should be fine here, she's pretty self-aware), confiding in someone, giving herself TIME (which is why I believe it'll hit her hard, she hasn't had this time yet).

Feelings of guilt/shame/survivors guilt

I spoke more about this one in particular HERE

I would have added more evidence, but this has been long enough already. I apologise for the length, it's just something I'm fascinated by. Hope, if you've gotten to this point, you've somewhat enjoyed my deep dive.

In conclusion;

It isn't really a stretch to say that Karlach could certainly be suffering with c-PTSD. An ex-soldier who went through many traumatic events would surely be a candidate. I have seen online people think she 'got over it' because she's 'happy'. Yes, she's away from her primary triggers (Avernus), and she attempts to cope as best as she can with her silver-lining mentality and clinging to hope for as long as possible. It is how she has survived as long as she has. But she is unwell. One can be struggling with a condition and still lead a good life.

[studyrenaissance]

studyblr introduction

hello! i'm studyrenaissance (ren for short) and i will be starting my first year of my bsc this fall 2024. i'm a canadian studying at a canadian university.

what i plan to study: currently i'm accepted into my uni's neuroscience honours program with a minors in bio sci. first year however is all general sciences and no neuro classes, so i will really be just finding my bearings this year.

what courses i'm taking: this fall i am taking introduction to cell biology, introductory university chemistry i, indigenous literatures, calculus for the life sciences i, and particles and waves. in the winter semester, i am taking organic chemistry i, case studies in research, basic psychological processes, introduction to applied statistics i, and fluids, fields, and radiation.

goals for the semester: as i'm not quite sure how i'll adapt to the uni environment after being a high achieving high schooler, i'm mainly focused on developing good study habits/foundation. i'm also living in dorms (with a friend) away from home for the first time so it's all about adapting and figuring out what i can and can't do.

review all lectures/lecture notes the day (or day after) attending

study consistently and daily (save for weekends, will have to find out how much i need to study)

exercise a couple times a week (aiming for 3-4)

eat two meals a day minimum, do not skip unnecessarily (i'm on a meal plan so no money-related excuses)

get out!! make active efforts to meet new friends and explore my new city (every weekend, go somewhere new or go out with someone)

what i plan to post: i plan to use this blog as a way to hold myself accountable and motivate myself to study. you'll probably see study inspo posts, tips and tricks, study/review methods, study resources, and other academics/university related content (dorm life, occasional life-hearted complaining/sarcasm, the rare post about being a lifeguard).

let's be friends! ❤️❤️❤️

[hjellacott]

Disclaimer for those who are a little short: When I say I'm a psychology academic, that is exactly what I mean. I don't say I'm a psychologist because even though I'm part of the British Psychological Association, I don't make a living as a psychologist, nor even as a therapist. It wasn't the career path that I chose. I do have a BA with Honours and a BSc with Honours, the latter of which is in Psychology, and have spent the last decade reading and studying everything I can about psychology and its different branches, including reading psychological research and studies and writing my own, as people who read my fanfics can probably tell because my fanfics tend to feature a lot of psychology / therapy stuff. Academic comes from academia, which is a word from the Latin academicus or the Greek academikós, was the place where Plato taught. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, the word "academic" has several definitions, including someone who enjoys studying or who belongs to an academic institution (an institution of knowledge, studying, research, so on).

Therefore when I say I'm a psychology academic, what I am saying, in more words, is: I do not work in this field but I'm a pro at this field, you can bet your arse I'm academic (studious) about it, a psychology researcher, and it's highly likely that I do in fact belong to some psychology-related institution or association of knowledge and research. It does NOT mean that I'm here to be anybody's therapist, not that just because I understand psychology and mental health I should go soft on anybody. In fact, I believe that if you're old enough to be in Tumblr or Twitter, you're old enough to take harsh truth. I only treat people with kid gloves and therapy if I'm paid to do so.

Not like you couldn't have done this research yourself @ridaine but since you evidently lack books more than I do, I thought I'd do you the favour.

Bsc Psychology Colleges in Pune | Mental Health Courses in India

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our emotional wellbeing. Moreover, it has been a catalyst for raising awareness about mental health. Challenges arise in meeting the need for mental health services due to the social stigma, insufficient number of mental health professionals (MHPs), and a disjointed health care system. This has created a dire need for trained and dynamic professionals who are passionate about psychology and health care.

There are numerous certificate courses and diploma programmes that train students only in certain aspects of mental health and psychology. However, our B.Sc in Mental Health programme has a robust and holistic curriculum which helps students of any stream imbibe skills along with in-depth knowledge of mental health. This gives them the required educational qualifications to be workforce ready.

Mental health disorders are usually viewed as an individual issue - this programme focuses on busting that myth by adopting a multi-disciplinary approach to mental health. It equips students to gain a thorough understanding of how life experiences, community, culture, law, the economic and political climate, environmental concerns, physical and mental health systems contribute to an individual's experience of mental health and mental illness across an individual's lifespan. Thereby, highlighting the need to integrate these factors in the management of mental illness.

What differentiates this degree from existing ones such as a B.A. or B.Sc. in Psychology, Psychology Honours, Applied Psychology and others is the focus on building core competencies and skills. These include empathy, communication, negotiation, collaboration with different stakeholders, psychoeducation and drafting integrated management plans. Students will also be trained in mental health advocacy, awareness, and destigmatization. This allows students to choose upon graduation, whether they would like to join the workforce in different roles or continue their study in varied specialties of mental health around the world.

Karlach and her survivor's guilt.

The first of a two-part psychological deep-dive into Karlach.

Part 1: survivor's guilt Part 2: c-PTSD

I will preface all this by stating I am not an expert in the field of Psychology, but I do however have a BSc Joint Honours in Psychology and Counselling, as well as a higher education certificate in Embedded Helping Skills (forms of therapy). I studied these conditions, as well has having first-hand accounts. I have access to, and use, papers accredited by the British Psychological Society.

All of what I'm about to discuss is my own personal insight, it is not aimed to insult anyone in any way.

To start. What is survivor's guilt? The DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition) describes survivor's guilt as a symptom of PTSD. It occurs when someone believes that something they did/did not do led to the deaths/harm of others, and a strong feeling of guilt behind being the survivour of a traumatic event.

I will, soon, go over the full list of symptoms of c-PTSD specifically, and how Karlach fits them, backed up by quotes and events in-game. However, I wanted to look more into survivor's guilt (henceforth shortened to S.G) due to my headcanon that extends Karlach's personal mission in the game. It is possible to have PTSD without S.G, and vice versa. However, I strongly believe Karlach has S.G as a SYMPTOM of c-PTSD, not just it working on it's own.

Karlach doesn't fit ALL side effects of S.G, however she certainly fits the following; feelings of helplessness, mood swings (specifically angry outbursts), flashbacks (cut from game, but I headcanon she does have them on this blog), difficulty sleeping, obsessive thoughts about the event (she frequently brings up Gortash/Zariel/Avernus etc). These naturally stretch out into her possible diagnosis of c-PTSD as well, but like I said, I'll go more in detail on that in another post.

It's well known at this point that a lot of her content was cut. But an interesting idea still has breadcrumbs within the game, concerning the Foundry and the Steel Watch automatons. Specifically, her connection to them.

When Karlach interacts with a Steel Watcher, it mistakes her for one of them. Albeit, an outdated model. It's quite well known that what was used to create Karlach eventually became the Steel Watchers. I feel, that if this part of Karlach's story was expanded upon, we would see her realisation fully. That she most likely would feel responsible for these machines.

Except they weren't always machines. They were once people. Their brains and hearts now used in these automatons. I theorise we would have had a profound moment for Karlach where she realises just how many people Gortash has killed, following the blue print that Zariel gave to him. The one that created her.

The Steel Watcher's would not have existed if she hadn't been given to the devil. They are an evolution of her machine. They are connected to her. She kept her soul, and most of her body. They did not get that chance.

I feel Karlach would have already struggled with S.G prior to this. She wasn't the only one Zariel tried to experiment on - she was just the only one to survive the tortures. So many others died before she was 'created'. Only to find out that it wasn't just in Avernus, but happening in Faerûn too? She would feel responsible.

She would no doubt think if she hadn't existed, these people would still be alive. She would want them to be at peace, unlike herself. Power them down, free their biology from the metal and - if given the chance - possibly even bury them all. To allow some kind of rest, and to make sure anyone after Gortash could not pick up where he left off. Burn everything down after that.

It is advised that anyone struggling with S.G to allow themselves time to grieve - however Karlach says so herself she is either "off, or go-go-go". She has not had TIME to stop. So she could also take those feelings and move them into something positive, i.e bury the body parts. She would also need to practise self-forgiveness. Which, as someone who regrets some of the things she did in Avernus and certainly regrets working for Gortash - will not happen any time soon.

Karlach has the air of denial about her and her mental health. S.G is just a part of that, festering until it can be addressed. Which, in-game, never happens. So it will continue to eat at her.

In this portrayal, I acknowledge this part of Karlach, even if the game wasn't able to due to cuts.
