Hi jai-Jai sorry you are discovering new triggers. People don’t understand how intrusive they can be. It’s important to remind yourself you are safe now and have a place you can be that feels safe and comforting. Remember that triggers do dissipate and you will be ok again. Try not to feed into them or let them frighten you. Get comfortable and have a special blanket or stuffed animal or something you can have to keep you “present” and breath in and out slowly. Say to yourself that you remember but you are safe now. That reduces the power of the trigger.
