When someone/something triggers us, it's like they've hit our sensitive spot. It doesn't scab over and become a stronger area.

Well, no, but once we identify the trigger (not an actual memory, mind you) then the brain can sort it out and file it away. We can eliminate many triggers this way.

Once someone is traumatized, the brain has difficulty filing many more things than just what is connected to the traumatic event. (my words about it all) We have to work to "retrain" the brain as to what is safe and where things go!! I guess we could say that it becomes "confused"... or like all the file folders in the files are strewn all over the floor and we must, with a good T, pick them up and file them back. The good thing is, that once the brain learns about certain things, it automatically takes everything similar and files them too!

There is a time to isolate for a bit, and get that rest from it all that is so needed. ((((hugs to all ))))
