As someone who used to treat people with PTSD, I always told people suffering that while the tragedy was that they may not be responsible for their problem, but that they were the only ones that could do something about it.
Tools used then were repeated exposure of the trauma by the person - for example, asking them to explain over and over again what happened, or the use of closed-loop cassette tapes with their accounts recorded on it.
A VR system could be ideal -if it could be tailored to each individual.
Also, PTSD can also be life-threatening.
Many sufferers kill themselves. Some have also killed others.
Perhaps the ultimate form of 'over-exaggeration'?
