yes it feels like a ptsd trigger -are you seeing a therapist?

I am sorry that there is so much violence to remind you - with time triggers do get less but you have to work at it - for me it was exposing myself to the triggers over and over till they had no effect - but I dont know how you would do that as your trigger seems to be volence - a therpist would talk you through the events over and over in some therapies to make the impact less - there are lots of different techniques they use

EFT - a tapping therapy (like acupressure) helped me - you can see it in action on www.tapping.com - there is a great book - The ptsd sourcebook by Glenn Shiraldu that has heaps of techniqeus and therapies in it - it is really well written and has exercises you can do to help

take care P7
