I understand the logic, but sometimes the trauma must be processed.

“Being able to feel safe with other people is probably the single most important aspect of mental health; safe connections are fundamental to meaningful and satisfying lives.”

“Neuroscience research shows that the only way we can change the way we feel is by becoming aware of our inner experience and learning to befriend what is going on inside ourselves.”

Ultimately everyone needs to make that determination. It's really a personal and case-by-case decision.

The other point is that others should be warned, so that they don't repeat the same traumas and abuse that many here went through.
