Hi WePow,

Be gentle with yourself. The feeling of "overreacting" feels awful. I can relate. But try to look at why you did it and have compassion for you. The guy can deal. I'm sure he didn't walk away bleeding or anything so you aren't responsible for his feelings. They are his responsibility. He can take them to his own T. You are aware of your actions and that is enough. What if it wasn't you, but someone else who described how they had been massively triggered and described this situation to you. Would you tell them they really didn't have to feel guilty? Would you tell them that when one has PTSD these things happen? The best you can do is be aware... I think it was a super move to write to your T.
