I don't need to do that type of thing and I worry sometimes if I just need to be in DBT or something stronger or maybe a total brain transplant. I feel like I just can't respond that strongly when these things happen.

When you are small and being abused you believe that you cannot stand up for yourself. Also, when you are being abused it is all about the abuser's needs and not at all about what you need so standing up for yourself means that you denied someone a need (even though they do not deserve this need and you do).
I think that you are doing well WePow on your path to healing. Yes, when you are triggered it is hard but you solve each one of your triggers and take big steps forward. You are doing it the way that it is supposed to be done. I wish it were easier too.
