I've always had triggers from angers, particularly from men. It could trigger past episodes where my father would lash-scream at me at times.
I've also had a problem letting go ever since I was a toddler. For instance, when a young kid stole a toy from me, I remembered it for 3 months and didn't want to meet up with him because of that.
Same with anger - it's never forgotten, but gets added up on and on until I've had it.
Now I'm back to talking to a friend whom I feel traumatized me and the memories and hurt feelings are not gone.

i think that it could be PTSD because you said you felt reminded of your father "screaming" at you
i think everyone experiences PTSD differently, but if it's affecting your day to day lifestyle, then i would definitely recommend talking to a therapist

Definitely. One of the hardest reactions to change, in my opinion. As a child your brain reacts a certain way, and it can stay with you a long time.

This very well could be. The real test of course is the nature of your reaction to the trigger and how this all has impact on your life. Now, this is not to say that your reaction must entail this or that on a scale. it is about the relevance of and the impacts of such and how your own behaviour takes direction as a result.

Coincidently I find loud, aggressive, and angry men to be extremely triggering too. My near constant worry I may encounter these situations and be put in harm's way impacts my life in that it prevents me from finding employment. Namely, I make choices that are not always the best just in order to avoid a triggering situation.

One of my biggest triggers is loud, angry men. It forces me into either a freeze, or in some cases a very strong fight mode. Coincidentally, my father was a loud, angry and abusive man. CPTSD in my case.

I consider screaming an act of violence. My father was a screamer.....he had a loud booming voice that would shake me to my very core. Im sorry you've been screamed at and I understand how anger can be frightening. (((Hugs)))

Yes this certainly can be a PTSD trigger. I am sorry you are going through this, although, it is a good thing you are aware of this trigger.

Tone of voice is a huge trigger of mine... I feel threatened and scared almost immediately and regress and feel unsafe / under attack.. It is terrible. I felt trapped too several times; not a good feeling.

I hope you are okay.

Thanks,
