Family trauma so I do it automatically.
Not sure how censoring a word helps but more power to ya
A compassionate person will do things that actively avoid trauma triggers. (I.e. if you know a dog will gringe away from a raised hand due to being abused you tend not to raise your hand to continue to see the reaction.)
Good answer.
You also reminded me of something. A guy I knew had the happiest, friendliest, most well behaved dog you’ve ever seen (ironically named Grizzly). One day, he was carrying a magazine rolled up in his hand. Grizzly freaked out, which he had never done before.
Grizzly was a rescue dog. Apparently, his previous owner had beaten him. My friend was so, so pissed at Grizzly’s previous owner.
I’m asking this genuinely, because I don’t understand. Does the removal of the single letter of a word actually lessen the “triggering” the word can do? In my mind you’re reading it the same regardless, so I don’t get how it makes it actually better without more fully obfuscating what the word is.
But you still know it’s that word and read it as that word, all you did was replace the A with an asterisk. It’s odd that it is supposed to help prevent a trigger when the word is still there and very obvious what it is still. It’s not completely blacking the word out so you can’t see it anymore.
