> What I mean is that it may be important for someone to talk about a traumatic dream or experience they had without shame or quilt. Isn't labeling it a trigger in some way attaching a stigma to it?
Perhaps. But surely that is the lesser evil. In fact, recognizing where an experience fits into the continuum of all human experiences is a very big part of healing from it, by restoring a normalized context to an experience that is, by definition, a trauma.
Did you ever help a stranger in a wheelchair up a stair? Was there dignity, in that stranger's plight? Wouldn't a ramp have been a better idea, all along?
Keep building curbs, if that is what you will do. F*ck those people in wheelchairs. What a pain in the *ss those people are, always asking for ramps.
I'm done. See ya.
