So, I am finding lately that really innocent things from my childhood are so, incredibly triggering.
I haven't had any flashbacks lately for the last two weeks, (besides occasional body memories, but no actual full blown flashbacks.) but I recently watched a movie that I loved as a child with my dad last night, and this morning I woke up to a flashback. I Mean a full blown flashback like I'm used to having.
It bothers me so much because I knew watching this children's movie would trigger me. This movie was in a set of four movies that I used to watch on repeat as a kid and I knew every word to all four of the movies. Anyway, I watched the other two movies in the past and felt triggered as well, so I knew I'd feel triggered watching this one.
It just bothers me.
Does anyone else get triggered by really innocent, non scary things??? Just something about watching those kids movies. I can't quite place it.
