Real talk for #Supergirl fans: The scene with Lex screaming in Lena’s face, degrading her as she’s flinching & clenching her eyes... made me sweat. Legit physical response.

If you’re also an abuse victim, but had an emotional/mental trigger from it please reach out to somebody.
A show like this that doesn’t usually dig deeper will likely never explore the implications, fallout nor proper healing for an abuse victim like Lena, nor even call it that. So it’s probably best not to expect nor look to them to do so nor provide real comfort for her, nor you.
I’ve gotten a lot of messages already from people who were extremely triggered by that scene (and have always related to Lena because the abuse she’s suffered) who are struggling now with how to handle it all over their feed a 2nd time. Step away, and contact a trusted friend. 💜
