What do you do about this?

Well, to beat the triggered take over...I try distractions. When I feel that Other coming on....I will stop, take a deep breath, refocus on something else, or just turn and walk away. Sometimes I would try talking to the Other to reason, work comprise, or let them know that it’s alright, or even find out why there is a problem.
What do you mean ‘cause of a threat isn’t actually a threat”? Sometimes what I don’t perceive as a threat an Other would because we are basically separate entities like 2 people are, built on different set of rules, emotions, and beliefs. It all boils down to talking and understanding if possible. Sometimes it’s a one sided conversation with me doing all the talking and the other is blabbing nothing but immaturity- but that might just be it’s m.o.
This is my two cents. Good luck sweety!
