Try to remember where you are and what you are doing. When I get triggered like that I like to lay down in the dark and feel the bed and the blankets. I try to breath and remind myself that I am at home--my home, and that is a safe place. And I am in my body and I am the one controlling it. If I need to I let myself cry.

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
