Dr. Cheryl Andaya, a clinical psychologist with years of experience in forensics, echoed these concerns.
“Having listened to and looked at graphic images for my forensic work, it becomes overwhelming at times. After so many exposures, one becomes somewhat desensitized to it. One graphic scene, or as in my case, graphic case of murder or abuse, starts to blend into the next. It’s difficult in the beginning if you are not able to compartmentalize things, or are triggered because of your past experiences.”
