Psychologists and psychotherapists warn tell-all approach could hinder duke from coming to terms with past
The therapist said it seemed that as a result of his childhood trauma that Harry could be triggered into a “fight or flight” response to perceived threats, and not understand the impact of his actions.
“I think once he starts talking about [his trauma], he can be triggered into getting angry,” Saddington added. “When you’re in fight and flight, then essentially … the part of your brain that is sane, rational, able to see things from other perspectives goes offline [and] you’re just responding defensively. I think that there are times when he’s saying things without thinking of the consequences. And those might be moments when he’s been triggered into revisiting some of the trauma.
Although most experts agreed that Harry’s revelations had damaged the prospects for a reconciliation with his family, they agreed that a positive outcome was still possible. Campbell said the most pressing issue for Harry and the royal family was agreeing a plan for his father’s coronation. “If Harry’s not going to be there, then I think both he and his dad need [to put out] a really good statement for the world to say, ‘In the interests of our future relationship, which we really care about, we’re not going to do this. But we are hoping to be together again in the future.’ That would be the nice, kind, grown up thing to do.”
