What do you do when you are triggered? (when traumatic memories come back to you / when something / someone triggers a memory) Or is that a flashback? How do you cope?
Partly, I know the answer. Do something that grounds me and regulate my emotions.
I think I also want to start learning, bit by bit, because I cannot stomach this full on in my face, but I want to start learning about the effects of the type of trauma I experienced, and how to cope.
I know that what I experienced over and over has changed me and I can't go back and make it different. It has affected my development.
I also know I need to not isolate.
