. I had been able to keep my boundaries and not respond; however, I still cannot control my brain. Was triggered into some pretty disturbing PTSD/flashback nightmares last night, and that's the only thing really that would have triggered them
This is something I experience myself. I manage to control myself in the moment but tend to struggle afterwards, sometimes badly. My older sister is one who believes her feelings are facts and she definitely had/has cognitive distortions and it got to the point where I just had to avoid her completely because every encounter would trigger me to experience nightmares and I would struggle for a few days. Also, I do NOT like how it affects me in how I interact either where I am more sensitive than I normally am.
