  • I still somewhat take issue with that characterization though. It doesn’t just “work for me and that’s okay,” it works period. It has been clinically shown to work for other people too. I only say this because spreading misinformation about it being “pseudoscience” and ineffective only serves to continue some people’s pain and never find an effective treatment for them, and I believe that’s potentially dangerous.



  • I have gone through some trauma therapy that has helped where no talk therapy has been able to. There are lots of studies showing the effectiveness too. Look up EMDR or brain spotting.

    I really just have to push back on the “doing nothing at all” or “talking to a rubber duck” piece because I’d been trying that for years and trauma flashbacks don’t seem just go away on their own.



  • I will probably get downvoted for saying it, but this post and the response here reminds me a lot of things you’d see on r/conservative in that people take an isolated hateful incident and extrapolate to say that this is the start of a civil war and we need to mount an equally forceful response. Yes this is a tragedy, unhinged, and terroristic behavior, but, as someone from a deeply red state who has some ultra-conservative family, 0 of them are even remotely close to wanting to fight and die over pride flags.

    I only say this because the sentiment that “there is no other way out of this but civil war” is not anywhere close to true, in my mind, and only serves to stop coherent discussion.
