. . .here are my thoughts.

What is a surefire clue someone is lying to you? 

There are specialized mental health professionals trained to help people suffering from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). These important health care workers assist sufferers to cope with their traumas, ideally minimizing any day-to-day repercussions. Do not confuse these folks with those supplying PDST treatment. While PTSD is a widely known acronym, little appreciation is afforded to the importance of practitioners of PDST (post-divorce sexual therapy). In the aftermath of a difficult or long-term marriage, PDST aims to help a newly unattached individual process past traumas, rebuild confidence, navigate anxiety around dating, and redefine sexual agency. It’s rather easy to see the potential overlap in the Venn diagram of PDST and PTSD, yet barely an elementary knowledge of PDST exists in popular culture. Why such a vast disparity?! Perhaps because PDST practitioners secretly escort their clientele through therapy. But more likely it’s due to overemphasis on divorce’s legal and financial aspects: child custody; who gets which Hampton estate; etc. So next time someone utters “PDST” before claiming a Freudian slip and correcting to “PTSD,” take a gander at their left hand. Is a tan line still visible on their fourth proximal phalange?
