We live in a sick culture that defines emotional health particularly among men, as the absence of emotional feeling, and that is how terms like touchy-freely come to symbolize pejorative experiences real men and women must avoid at all cost. Thus, when it comes to the treatment of problems that require emotions to be understood to be solved, our culture starts far far behind the eight ball. Were I to want to push a medically valuable technique for solving the problems of PTSD, I would avoid calling them touchy-feely and focus instead on the notion that to may be great value is solving problems of stress by exposure to it's opposite, maybe 'reverse aversion therapy' or something like that, rather than 'wimps who need safe spaces' which is exactly where your cultural illness will want to take us as you can see already in the link. These people have already volunteered to expose themselves to the rigors of war and deserve better than that.
