Repeatedly watching TV coverage of a bombing
jeudi 12 décembre 2013 à 13:00Repeatedly watching TV coverage of a bombing can cause more stress than witnessing the bombing.
I know someone in California who was so traumatized by watching coverage of the Sep 2001 attacks as to become afraid to go outside.
That morning I made an intentional decision not to watch the coverage. It would have been both boring and anxiety-producing; all in all, I preferred to work on an article talking about the danger of sacrificing our freedom for "security".
