Yes. I do believe so. There was violence that happened in my home growing up also. My father would also erupt in explosive anger. There was a particular time that I witnessed his violence toward my mother first hand, and triggers can take me back to that place and experience very quickly. Even though it was not directed at me, I was still there in that moment and my brain had to process it. I actually don't remember past a certain point of that particular incident. It's like someone turns the TV off and it goes black. That would mean, to me, that I dissociated in that moment. I think that would make sense.
Thanks for this!
