And that uncertainty can be really traumatic," she told ESPN. "What we know about online stalking, as an example: The trauma that is created in the person who is being targeted is about as impactful as people who have been serving in war."

Warren said that one of the keys to getting back to normal is drawing up and implementing safety precautions aimed at controlling that “What if?” thinking that can be so poisonous. “It’s that creation of uncertainty that gives your threatener power over you.
