Hi Ella, I take it you or someone you know has this trigger? Have you had any luck with coping or any relief from this? I know a lot of the others have rearranged their lives to avoid any exposure and it's a very isolated life. Any advice you have received or personal achievements would be...

Hey there! I'm soo sorry to hear you suffer with this as well. My previous boyfriend and I were together for three years, and this was pretty much top of the list for reasons we broke up. It is a tough, tough trigger to deal with in a relationship. The reason being, it comes off as jealous and...

Hi Ms.liz, Thanks for your reply! It feels so good to know there are people in this world that go through the same thing. Not good that anyone else has to experience it, but that I finally have an answer to what I've been completely confused by since I can remember. You said it perfectly, "The...

Hello All, I fear my C-PTSD is a big part of the only two things that I think keep me from having a healthy relationship. My nudity triggers, noted in another post. And alcohol. I have been a social drinker since high school and never really had issues related to alcohol (outside of the...

Thanks for your reply! The problem I also run into with "getting to the root of the issue" is not remembering everything. I was so young and have a feeling I don't remember all that happened. So how have you managed to work on the abuse? I've accepted it, even had a relationship with my brother...

Also, I am currently in counseling. My counselor diagnosed me with PTSD, but has never known someone with my trigger. So, he has suggested "flooding" to basically attempt to desensitize me. The thought of sitting down watching porn all day with my bf is absolutely unbearable. But, maybe I just...

Hi Digger, I certainly don't believe he intentionally triggered me. This just seems to be one of the emotions I feel as part of my "attack" that comes over me. But, there are many times where nudity can arise with him that he didn't choose. He is aware of my problem, but explaining the feelings...

Hello, I am reaching out to try and find a way to cope with my trigger. I was sexually abused by my brother when I was very young and in suffering from PTSD, any sort of nudity sends me into a sever panic-anxiety attack. This is really affecting my life, especially in relationships. Last night...
