I don't actually think any trauma specialists actually back this approach to eliminating all triggers for everybody. The general treatment model for traumatic stress issues like this is to steadily reduce the association between the trigger and the trauma so you can eventually go through life without having breakdowns over innocuous stimuli. The "safe space" approach is meant for acute episodes where patients need a supportive area to recover and relax (as in, be removed from stressors so they can come down from the trauma response). But it's not a model for "this is how your life should be from now on."
