dear nupoet64 (a "jewel" of a gal ),
i'm so sorry to hear about your reaction to the movie. personally, i just can't watch movies anymore, haven't in years. they are what you say, triggery. you may be over it by now, i am so very late posting anything these days (computer damage, etc.). anyway, this is an excerpt from one of dear dps's chat outlines about "creating safety" that i hope may help you my dear. take care, you are loved.
