“Traumatophobia” is fear of fear itself, sensitizing people to the psychological effects of stressors such as crime, terror, and hurtful communications. Paradoxically, increasing knowledge of trauma has not empowered, but sensitized us to it — thereby amplifying its effects. The Institute of Medicine challenged society to examine this process, and redirect our knowledge toward building resilience. Data for this are well-established, but under-attended. Neutral third parties play a pivotal role, by modulating trauma’s effects through mutual suggestion. Sensitizing interactions foster traumatic re-enactment, and polarize people against one another. Appeasing and counter-traumatizing lead to escalation of traumatic coercion. Validating victimhood and rescuing its targets can regressively destabilize them by unintendedly undermining their agency. Social trends further amplify through enabling, media, selective non-responsibility, and coercive information control. Mitigating interactions shift emphasis from victimhood toward active agency without denying the former, and promote abstaining from re-enactment. Also pivotal are standing firm at one’s locus of control, seeking alternate narratives, and optimizing all parties’ accountability. Promoting constructive discourse over trauma-driven suppression is a fundamental precondition for building resilience.
