The amount of gaslighting the NRA has does to gun violence survivors that advocate for gun control has horrific impact on our PTSD. It causes ppl to not reach out for help when they need it and fall apart because they don’t think they’re valid enough to take care of themselves — PolitiTweet.org

The the # of times I’ve seen ppl that oppose things like gun control weaponize gaslighting against survivors/activists to tell them they weren’t there or that their trauma is not valid to try to shut them down is disgusting. Many ppl I know have much worse PTSD bc of this — PolitiTweet.org

Every person that has trauma should know that they are valid and that they never should have to compare themselves to others in order to feel that way. Your trauma is valid and we can all acknowledge instead of comparing traumas we should focus on healing. — PolitiTweet.org

Trauma has a habit of perpetuating it’s gaslighting. But I can stop with each one of us knowing that although we may have different trauma than other people even at different levels. That doesn’t make other peoples or your trauma invalid and we all need help. — PolitiTweet.org

Gaslighting in circles were people have different forms of trauma is a cycle. Where one individual’s told that their trauma is not valid and then tells another individual that their trauma is not valid because it’s different and so on. Although that may be true we all need help — PolitiTweet.org

Comparing traumas gets us no where. In fact- I would actually argue that it can make things worse, significantly worse because it stops other people who need help from reaching out because they don’t believe that they are valid. — PolitiTweet.org

@TheodoWolf It’s a similar thing with people with PTSD — PolitiTweet.org

@kallieleyba Exactly — PolitiTweet.org

For example I’ve been diagnosed with PTSD but I don’t weaponize that to tell other people that have suffered Trumatic events that their pain is invalid because it’s different than mine. Instead what I focus on is that all of us are in some form of pain and want to get better — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

Comparing traumas is not what’s going to make any of us better mentally. We can acknowledge that people have experienced different levels and different types of trauma that no one other than the person who is experienced can know the level of. AND Focus on getting better. — PolitiTweet.org

@RobinAldan Thank you 😄 — PolitiTweet.org

100% this is why gaslighting survivors is so wrong and damaging. No one should think to themselves that they shouldn't get help just because there are others that are traumatized in different ways. The reality is we all process trauma differently and need to focus on getting help — PolitiTweet.org
