yes, there are indications for this to be true, however, it's _extremely_ hard to find clinicians willing to and courageous enough to work with patients with psychotic experiences on trauma.

basically admitting psychotic episodes kicks you out of most programs before you can even start, because the anticipated overreaction to slight triggers can only be handled by the most experienced counselors, or so they believe.

In that sense I appreciate you sharing these papers while pointing out that it's still a looong way to have this currently "esoteric" knowledge mainstream.

Trauma therapy has three components: safety from continued abuse, stabilization/resource building/(co)regulation, and confrontation. It would be ill-advised indeed to start confrontation when the other two are not in place, however it is perfectly possible to use trauma therapeutic methods for stabilizing, also for patients with psychoses.

Build a stable base camp. No need to go in deeper yet. But if you are preparing to go in and face the truth, you cannot do it with meds that blind you.
