I'd be interested in learning more about what you posted, that people who have experienced childhood trauma become more treatment resistant to drugs, especially if they have experienced disassociation, which I certainly have.
Once the emotional defense mechanisms I developed as a child became less useful, and even detrimental, I became one big mess. It's easier said than done to realize the defenses no longer work than it is to rebuild a whole new life for yourself. It's like being shattered into pieces and then told, "Well, you just have to rebuild yourself. Again."
So I take drugs to get through the emotional rollercoaster I've been on. They help, but it is still emotionally excruciating.
