Trenton Hoshiko | FilmmakerFyi you as a regular person do not need to be looking at pics/vids of dead kids. If you can *imagine the idea* of a dead kid and it makes you feel bad/sick, then no extra viewing will help our world, but it can hurt you - a lot - and that threatens how you *can* show up in tangible ways to make life better for us all.
Also, if you see something traumatic, I say this especially as someone with hyperphantasia, a pretty well researched tip is to pretty immediately play Tetris (or any bright quick eye moment game) to help reduce PTSD/imagery flashbacks.
Jenny@Trenton_Hoshiko 100% concur, eye movement or other bilateral movements (butterfly hugs, knee taps, even just walking) are great for processing and relieving stress (à la EMDR)
Anthony DavidI had my first EMDR session today!
It was a real roller coaster. I am in a better space.
@adavid @Trenton_Hoshiko That’s great! I’ve done it myself and also love doing it with clients, the brain’s ability to heal itself is amazing. Good for you!!!
