CoSo? Just a caring reminder that you do not have to immerse yourself in the details of other people's trauma in order to be empathic and helpful to them.
Sometimes folks think they need to fully see and engage with traumatic content--but this can be a barrier to effective helping when the time for helping comes.
So please, know yourself and act accordingly.
This isn't to discourage folks from being aware and informed--but be discerning regarding the degree.
