I still haven't gotten past my triggers, either. Currently in EMDR therapy, which is supposed to help. We'll see. What I currently do, when triggered, is use a mantra, of sorts: "this isn't that". As in, "this" which I'm experiencing, isn't "that" which is causing me to react this way. Repeating it over and over and over. It helps me stop freaking, somewhat. Helps me lower my...adrenaline rush, I guess is the best way to phrase it. Doesn't stop my reaction - but helps me cope with my reaction. I know, it's kinda like a bandaid over a gaping wound - but, it helps a little, until I find a better way.
