.Good evening,
For some reason this is on my mind now, something somehow jogged my memory to thinking about it. I know nobody can actually tell me as you weren't there, but do you think my T's right and I dissociated? Or do you think it's possible I just wasn't bothered? Sorry, not entirely sure this is the section to post this in but I'm not sure it belongs in the abuse section and people hardly ever reply on there.
The quote above is from your first post.
I didn't used to have triggered responses to similar situations - until recently. Now I find it hugely triggering when people get angry on TV. I can't watch, I have to turn it off. Not sure about in real life as I haven't had the chance to find out, happily.
This is from your third post. If, as an adult, you can't tolerate someone who is angry on TV, I agree with your T. You split the frightening behavior of your father and your feelings. Children get overwhelmed when a parent is screaming and having a fit bkz you can't get away from it physically, nor can you stop it.... survival is the goal. My guess is you will be bumping into those feelings as you progress in therapy.
Regards,
Sabra
