@Wildfire_desu 0/2 it seems; yes, confronting trauma is exactly how you treat it, and you need to slowly work your way up to treating it that way too, so that it doesn't just cause more trauma or strengthen the trauma you already have. The author has done a very good job at showing this, with him still damaged but making his first steps back out into the world again months ago, and slowly getting back into the swing of things while constantly having recurring flashes back to is trauma, culminating with this moment now where he is actually able to end the last vestige of his trauma both with not being alone in a fight against harpies (which is what triggered that initial trauma) and also directly confronting the harpy queen doing the same attack that initially got him, beraking free from that part of his past.
