There have been studies which found playing tetris for an hour or two after seeing something traumatic can prevent it taking root in our longterm memory.
I tried it once after accidentally clicking a link on reddit that turned out to be gore, I can't remember exactly what it was now (about 9 months later) so it must have worked
This advice is a few hours too late for me. Hope it helps others
Don't worry, life with hold many more traumas
Cue Homer Simpson: This is the worst thing you've seen in your life so far
I just posted an article explaining the study to the 'You Should Know' community, so hopefully some of the people who need to see it do so
That’s pretty genious. One way to work with trauma is moving the eyes from side to side along to a moving light. It’s basically to force the brain to work through something that used to stall it. So tetris, since it is highly reactive and logical, also needs spatial thinking, should very much force the brain to work instead of stalling.
