Certain smells: Old Spice aftershave, stale beer, and bread dough.
My abuser was my alcoholic step-father who was a baker. He still calls me from time to time. Just seeing his phone number on the caller ID makes my stomach hurt and the sweats going. The phone messages (which I don't answer or listen to) typically cause nightmares and leaves me anxious for days. No matter how many times I change my phone number, he still manages to get it. Probably from his daughter.
PTSD Anxiety SUCKS!
