A game you play with a friend or two and you record yourself on video taking turns pouring candy into a giant bowl while explaining a story about a true traumatic event. One story per bag of candy. The goal is to see how big the salad can go and you eat it at the end to celebrate healing.

A trauma trap is a person on Instagram or other social media platforms who posts intentionally triggering or divisive content under the guise of vulnerability, education, or advocacy. While their posts may appear relatable or well-meaning on the surface, the real motive is to stir emotional reactions, spark arguments, and gain attention to boost engagement and follower counts. Instead of fostering healing or awareness, trauma traps exploit sensitive topics to manipulate algorithms and grow their personal brand—often at the expense of genuine connection or collective understanding.
