A triggered flashback dissociated damn MESS!
After an incident with my H this morning that left me in a dissociative fog with anxiety I get to school all the long doing breathing exercises to calm down only a couple hours later the instructor makes an announcement that the reason one of the other students has been missing class a lot is because his younger sister committed suicide and he had to go to the west coast with his family to take her off of life support. Everyone is around him hugging him crying while I just floated off into a flashback and in a frozen state looking like an insensitive cold fish to his issues. I could not even get up off my seat.
I just do not think that is something that should have been discussed with out considering what might be going on with other people who do not feel parading their mental issues or family issues for all to see.

Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
