    I don’t think he’s talking about concrete actions to take in response to a given scenario. He’s talking about the broader emotional reaction.

    When someone experiences trauma and says ‘what am I supposed to do now?’ they’re not asking for literal instructions, they’re expressing emotional turmoil.

      Even that, couldn’t we live in a society that creates the needed support?
