((((((((((( sundance ))))))))))))))

I'm sorry you are having a rough time.

Dealing with triggers - some of mine, hope they might help you.

Remind yourself ' here and now ' you are safe.

It is over and it happened a long time ago.

You are an adult, ( the child-part needs reassurance and compassion.)

Use distractions to keep you in the 'here and now' , things that you enjoy doing that don't remind you of the past.

Learn what your triggers are.

Safe -place visualization, needs to be a 'here and now' safe-place, not a past one.

Takes a lot of practice.

Hopefully the 'triggers' eventually won't trigger so much.

Hugs to you.
