I know that’s the goal and I’m not knocking therapy; I’m just stating the fact that therapy is largely out of reach for many protesters. It’s a systemic failing, not that of the profession.https://twitter.com/TweetBMainguy/status/1281708374682370048 …
You hint at this in your next couple tweets, but one major failure of therapy for PTSD is that it does nothing or less than nothing if the trauma is ongoing. A large scale way of getting people into a safe place would do 10000x more than therapy.

It can help even if the trauma is ongoing, depending on what the trauma is. But, yes, ending the traumatic experience would be the very best thing.

Yep. There's a reason I dropped out of my EMDR in the middle of the planned treatment course (UK NHS only gives you 12 weeks). Luckily, what I did pick up from that has been enough that after the fact, I've been able to use it to fix a lot of my PTSD issues independently.

I tried EMDR. It didn’t work for me. I have a psychiatrist and am on meds. I’m still stuck holding this f*ing trauma. I don’t know what to do with it
