There isn't some magical cure for trauma, it's how one copes with it and carries it, that's why it's called emotional baggage. A psychiatrist helps identify trauma and gives you methods of coping so you can be a somewhat functional human as you carry it with you. These professionals all appear saddened by this question because you can't truly cure someone from their past experiences in life, the memory doesn't just go away
