Thank you, Mel. I really appreciate your help. I haven't been clear on how to explain this to a therapist in a way that would make me feel understood or in a way that might move them to help me. I'll now seek out trauma therapists because the avoidance of triggers is really troubling me and impacting my quality of life at this point.
