Does it actually work? When I was going to various group class type things and na and shit I realized that since we (the participants) were regularly being asked to share things about or day or week or life or whatever, people got used to talking about things like that and kind of started just doing it all the time, like when a lull in the conversation came up or something. It seems like the common wisdom is that it's good (in appropriate circumstances obviously) but it doesn't seem apparent to me that it even really does anything. If you were traumatized as a kid, or if someone cut you off in traffic that morning and it pissed you off, or your dog died that week, does telling someone about it benefit you? I never felt like it really helped me, whatever situation was being discussed was still the same as before I would share and I can't say it really ever changed my perception of anything much.
In fact talking about problems just tends to make me focus on them if anything and potentially fucks up my mood.

What you should do is keep a diary and shove it up your vulva at the end of each lovely day.

The vulva is the global term that describes all of the structures that make the female external genitalia. The components of the vulva are the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, vestibular bulbs, vulva vestibule, Bartholin's glands, Skene's glands, urethra, and vaginal opening

"is a component of" means "has something"
Does a car have a passenger window? Is the passenger window a component of a car? It's the same question unless youre going to try to say you have some weird alternate meaning behind when you ask if something has something, in which case youd better explain because I think ur full of it

honestly talking about things that are internal to me has never helped. I don't think it's likely you'll find someone who really empathises and paying someone to pretend to be interested for an hour just seems like masturbation
It is all just masturbation imo. For the most part anyways. People who know a bunch about self help and talk about it and how important it is and like to talk about trauma all the time always seem to be fooling themselves. It's almost like its a coping mechanism in itself. The best way to deal with trauma is probably to not avoid it but also to not focus on it and talk about it constantly and do other healthy shit like working and doing stuff with a significant other or friends.
Idk I'm sure I'm wrong like everything else but that's just my thoughts
