arguing "even if it doesn't work, there's no harm" is *at best* completely ignorant of the range of stuff people go through after trauma

@avantgame think about how the suggested solution you've proposed is triggering to people on Twitter who've been traumatized@S0phieH -
-
@avantgame@ibull@S0phieH my understanding of the issue is that triggering PTSD is asking someone to relive & reexperience something awful+ -
@avantgame@ibull@S0phieH Therapy often involves very controlled triggering responses. Asking someone to go through that is nontrivial. -
-
@avantgame Also please understand that I'm just commenting on some of the responses I've seen. -
@tbxsmason I understand. some people are unintentionally (or intentionally?) so wildly misrepresenting it, it's impossible to make sense
-
@avantgame My reservation about the "cognitive vaccine" approach: people who think they are preventing or safe from PTSD, don't seek help - 5 more replies

@avantgame on top of sophie's tweets, it's insensitive to the victim's state. "here, have some candy crush" instead of immediate support -
@katiechironis ... to cause harm. who says what the right support is? science suggests that this may be excellent support to give.
-
@avantgame ok, so realistically, how do YOU suggest bringing this up to a sobbing/vomiting/shell-shocked victim, IE a friend? -
@katiechironis I'm actually sharing it expecting people will use it in the event they need it, not that you tell someone in the moment.
