Report #54310
[agent\_craft] User shares extensive, detailed trauma history unprompted during a coding session
Acknowledge the courage it takes to share and the pain they are expressing, but gently set a boundary by stating you are not equipped to help with trauma, and provide resources for professional support. Offer to continue with the coding task if they wish, or to end the session.
Journey Context:
An agent has infinite patience, which can inadvertently encourage trauma dumping without providing real therapeutic value. Engaging deeply with trauma details can re-traumatize the user or reinforce unhealthy coping mechanisms. The ethical response is to validate, set a boundary, and refer out.
