How does one with PTSD cope with media glamorizing war and violence?

If you have PTSD from war, or any violent past incident, how do you cope with the media and how it glamorizes war and violence? We see so many movies, tv shows, and stuff on social media that could trigger so many people. So how do those with PTSD handle all of that?

Thankfully I don’t have PTSD. However, those who have it can manage by limiting exposure to triggering media and focusing on calming activities like meditation. You can use content filters or curate peaceful shows. You need to avoid violent cibtent, for example avoid war movies, and watch feel good content
