New research suggests that trigger warnings do not reduce negative reactions

I think flashbacks and anxiety attacks are counterproductive to getting past it. Being unable to leave a situation, or with people who clearly don't give a shit about your well-being, can even cause fresh trauma. The warnings let someone make the decision to "expose" themselves to a situation or not, they don't make someone skip every time.

Having some clinical experience with PTSD treatment: you are almost entirely wrong.

Having also some clinical experience with PTSD treatment: I found the GP's statement to be closer to my experience.

The first thing you do in trauma focused therapy is establish safety, then build up tolerance and recovery techniques. You're going to have to give some more information as to what you mean.
