I also know a number of people with a history of trauma who are really into stuff like Law And Order and other true crime things. Personally that stuff freaks me out.

Does anyone know why this is?
I honestly don’t think there is a correlation. Maybe I am wrong. I think it’s just personal preference. My husband and I love crime dramas. Nothing to do with traumas, we just like to solve mysteries, figuring it out like a puzzle. I hate horror shows or movies. And I cannot stand fantasies, anything that cannot be real (the only exceptions are some good science fiction books but just a few). I think it’s just my preference. Maybe I just never gave it a thought why
