@evan Usually, it's at least a step, although I can think of counterexamples. For instance, talking about trauma prematurely or in too much detail can exacerbate PTSD in some people (this is one of the advantages of EMDR, a therapy that doesn't require recounting traumatic events beyond a vague indication of what memory is being addressed).

@evan Sure, but "talking about trauma always (or almost always) helps" is a thing people think.
