Perhaps, though, it could lead to a better understanding of how the mind works, and maybe to different forms of therapy that might help in some way. Obviously, your first thought after a traumatic event is not "I need to play a video game." I, too, am suspicious about just how closely you can mimic a traumatic event in a laboratory.
