This is always the worst month for me. The heat triggers me with being hot and feeling trapped. Have a large number of memories that are triggered this month. Last night one got me with my guard down. el*v*s, yeah he died so my years ago yesterday. el*v*s trigger traced back to the first time of abuse being on the day he died. Great now I get to be reminded of it every year. So many nightmares last night. I'm not a happy camper today. and my T is out of town till friday at a training. so I can't reach him. no one is in T's office but the secretary, she's nice and all, but not "MY T". August is also when we escaped from some of the abusers. spent days on a bus. I'm just really overwhelmed with triggers that keep popping up of late. hard to do anything else. Anyone got any good tips for triggers? Hard when the heats a trigger, have to go outside sometimes. But any ideas of things that worked for anyone is wanted. Thanks, Monty
