N'thing everyone. What the flippity flip is it with the idea of amateur exposure therapy as a delightful wonderful helpful thing. (This was a few years ago, but I ran into something about at least one person using this whole malarkey as a reason to object to trigger warnings--- as if being randomly exposed to the subject of a phobia or traumatic experience is exactly the same as being systematically and incrementally exposed to same in the company and with the assistance of a trained professional!)
