Hello, I read your post yesterday and didn't think of anything helpful to say but now I have so better late then never. When I was first trying to figure out how to deal with myself I was much older then you. I didn't know that what was happening was that I was having overwhelming feelings and flashbacks and would dissociate, Si or something else. I would just feel something overwhelming and be frightened. So for you, at your sweet young age to have such a self understanding of your triggers etc is pretty darn cool. You would not be human if you didn't respond emotionally to what you saw. That it triggered old feelings in you is very normal and healthy. That you recognized it and reached out with it shows you are processing it so that it won't stay with you and effect you in today ways. If you didn't see that then you might react inappropriately to a client when you eventually are doing the work you wish to do. You will always have to process and discuss the feelings that come up for you. You are healthy. or getting there quickly. Not sure I know anyone healthy. You done good girl!
