Your therapist is correct, people who suffer from PTSD who have been abused in some way have a very strong desire for justice. You know what it feels like first hand, you know it is "wrong" and that a child is helpless to defend themselves from abuse. So, you get very angry when you see someone
over discipline a child, it's a big trigger. However, you will get triggered when you see "anyone" suffer abuse.

This is definitely a challenge, you are going to have to work through it and learn how to not feed into that part of the PTSD when you get triggered that way, and I know it is hard.
