Generally, yeah. Highly memorable. I'm like "I can use this".

Yes. Horror is good for you. It builds up your immune system against horror.
Or not, and it gives you nightmares instead of making them go away. But I never really heard that happen before.

Snake Island ?

I have highly intense and disturbing nightmares near-daily because of PTSD, so no, I don't wake up and think "what a great nightmare!".

I guess

yeah i love nightmares. the rush and thrill of teetering on the edge of death and suffering without dealing with the consequences of oblivion.

I have nightmares but don't experience fear at all. I used to attempt to escape the torture of waking life through dreams, until one day not even sleep in the sense f oblivion was an escape. After this, something leaves you. That's it. PTSD'd people are stuck "in between", something is keeping you trapped there. Probably malnutrition, toxic load, or medications.

That does happen. Some nightmares are actually thrilling in a fun way, but I still get 1-2 a years that are utterly terrifying.

But most are unremarkable once you wake up. I remember once thinking "oh, walls of flesh, how original..."

The common assumption is that the fight or flight system traps the individual in a constant state of flight from the problem.

However, microbiological studies and eeg studies have shown that the neurochemical chains for FoF, and the PTSD triggering of it, actually recede.

There is infact a neurological complex maintaining this response pattern that kicks in after the biotics have ended.

Fight, flight, freeze, faun. The responses aren;t mutually exclusive and can be layered.

The mind can create any response it wants.

Disassociative processing, to try and 'peel the layers,' often expands and homogenizes the response. In the attempt to desensitize the complex, instead an ever-expanding panolpy of phenomena are now included as triggers. There is no longer any experience besides PTSD.

Isn't this profession inherently trustworthy?

So you should convince it to do as it's told and conceive of nothing other.

Depends on the mind.

Probably.
