Airshow Trauma
- Thread starter TeeJay
- Start date
Last time I checked, this was an opinion piece. Also when have you heard of veterans dealing with PTSD being this vocal about what's traumatizing? It's still very stigmatized in military society.
They should seek psychological help. If anything we should have taken care of our homeless first.
"The best way you can help yourself to deal with these fears is by facing them, rather than avoiding them."
That PhD is full of shit. Of course a political science PhD would be an expert in dealing with PTSD.

PTSD is not something people easily just go find help for. It takes a support system. It's a serious disorder and often times not even properly diagnosed until it's too late. Some people think they can deal with it on their own. Sometimes yes, often times no. But it's like most things internal.
Think of losing someone close to you. If someone tells you to just get over it immediately and carry on, is that even a remote possibility for you?
Same with PPD or other forms of depression.
The first step to actually helping someone is coming to terms with the fact that we don't all process trauma the same, especially neurologically. Sometimes no, they can't just seek psychological help on their own.
Hey, I'm actually seeing a psychologist for anxiety problems and I was actually told to expose myself as well.. She just told me to deal with it (just in a nice, professional way).
Looks like the same for PTSD people.
She told you to just deal with it? Well if that works for you, Godspeed.
No it's not the same for PTSD people. You can't really link them all in the same category. A military veteran suffering from PTSD processes their anxiety completely differently than a kidnapping/torture victim or say someone who was involved in an car accident.
You can't tell a victim of torture to just "deal" with it.
I was a clinical research assistant this summer and dealing with victims of PTSD was a large part of my work. Let me tell you, people definitely heal differently. Circumstances are merely a part of the equation.
I edited my post a bit to mitigate my surprise. Like I said earlier, we all process trauma differently. I don't know your situation but I empathize with you too. If based on your sessions with her, that's what she deems best going forward then I do wish the best of luck to you.
Reading this thread and many others on terb, I assume taking care of our homeless means setting them on fire.
The Borg society is very peaceful, harmonious and efficient. No morons protesting anywhere. All they ever want is making the universe like their society. They are the most misunderstood people ever.
Remember how loud the leftists screamed about workfare
Heaven forbid one of these social leeches gets a job
They would have a more comfortable life in a labor camp that's for sure.
It is a serious option. They can learn relevant skills in there and get back to the workforce.
I live on the waterfront and the air show is hardly a bother. I love the people who just rented a condo in the area calling for something that has been happening for 60+ years to be stopped because the noise bothers them. Ridiculous.
The clusterfuck of traffic from the CNE in the area is way more bothersome to me, but that's just part of life in the city for anyone who isn't an entitled whiny bitch.

People in those downtown shoe box condos have no clue what noise is. How about a 747 landing at Pearson at 2 am?
