@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 -
@avantgame So I think a lot of this could be circumvented with a note on that post that says "this isn't a replacement for therapy" etc. - 4 more replies

@avantgame@ibull@S0phieH so that's one issue. The other being a more abstract objection to the purity of science & respect for research+ -
@avantgame@ibull@S0phieH At least that's my understandings of the objections I've seen. Again, I think longform responses are better here
