<p>I read that character/aspect as CBT possibly keeping him from

for linking the trigger warning article. There's only 1 thing
in there I can't abide:<br>
<br>
"At the college level, we don't believe the Holocaust,
slavery, genocide, and other harrowing topics should come in
two different versions: 'regular' and 'lite.'"<br>
<br>
Every intellectualized treatment of fundamentally *somatic*
things is the 'lite' version of it. Book learnin' is all
'lite' versions. This is made obvious by those ASPCA TV
commercials that show clip after clip of abused and neglected
animals, with some soft, pleading voice begging for you to
send them money. <br>
<br>
We can go round and round with the behaviorists about how
there is no such thing as the internal mind and whatnot. But
the value of being *slowly* exposed to atrocity, starting with
intellectualized 'lite' versions, is obvious. Cognitive
Behavior Therapy (CBT), where you are given some teachable
skills to manage catastrophizing and such, exploits the
relationship between the 'lite' and the 'heavy' versions of
any givenn subject. It works, at least temporarily, for both
healthy people and those with PTSD.<br>
<br>
I think the techniques of CBT should be taught early, like
maybe 5th grade.<br>
