Maybe watching extremely negative content like gory cartel videos from South America could help with desensitization?

  >Maybe watching extremely negative content like gory cartel videos from South America could help with desensitization? Wow, is that a bad idea! Watching even one "gore" (people or animals getting killed or hurt severely) clip can change you forever. Specifically, it can traumatize you, and psychological trauma disorder can be hard to treat, so that even if you can afford to pay $300 an hour for psychotherapy, you might try 6 different psychotherapists and none of them are able to help you, so you are stuck with the trauma disorder for years. Also, the clip might unlock what is essentially a fetish for gore with the result that you cannot stop yourself from continuing to search for it and watch it. Then maybe just watching it is no longer enough: you develop a compulsion to act it out.
