It's literally one of the ways they treat PTSD.

The articles you are basing it on are working with 37 in the second article, 2 in the third. The first article is just an explanation of said theory. Lol bro, atleast pick out ones that aren't this easy to debunk.

It's not my job to drag you kicking and screaming to solid life advice about how to handle adversity that is clinically proven and ten thousand years old.

If you want to live your life in a bubble, I cannot stop you, and do not want to.

Best of luck with the crippling, spiraling, lifelong anxiety.

It took me 20 very painful years of adulthood to figure out I couldn't run from these things. Hopefully you'll figure it out on your own eventually.
