hmm, this is interesting. While I generally know my triggers, this recent move has brought back more...

-being touched by a stranger anywhere but my arms.
-yelling or anger
-disappointing someone I respect or care about (or thinking I disappointed them)
-feeling like I am bothering someone/having to ask for something, even if I need it
-anything about my dad
-aggression towards others
-the thought of losing any of my animals
-sexual contact with anyone other than my wife (tho it was triggering the first few times with her too)
-domestic violence (I worked briefly as a DV counselor... it became to much)
-being back in my home state and seeing the places and people that were around when my trauma happened
-using public restrooms, especially for #2 (won't happen unless it's a major emergency that can't wait for me to get home)
-talking about my trauma, especially to a male therapist or doctor
-seeing a male doctor for anything
-feeling trapped in a room with someone I do not trust
-feeling trapped in a large crowd (couldn't go to crowded bars or clubs in college unless I had a clear path to the door at all times)

that's not a full list, but... it's good for now...
