You said it yourself, you were triggered and it caused you to dissociate. It sounds like you know that you switch but haven't found a trusted therapist. Please make that a priority, its so important for your health. Its Possible that put on your shoes was been a phrase told to you, or even...

I also have a trust issues with doctors, and my triggers sounds similar. Its authority bulldozing their way, and not listening. I still struggle with this a lot, using my voice concisely and with force if needed. I think you should find a new doctors office completely, it doesn't sound like...

Of course I can logically think, ok people are living their own lives, it is not personal. I can see that at the time and when I think about it after. Are you saying, by logically reasoning this after the fact or even at the time will stop the triggers? I feel like I have been doing that for...

Today I am so angry, I'm being triggered by everything and everyone is annoying me to no end. I had to go grocery shopping, something I normally avoid on a Saturday morning. I expect everyone else to go quickly and do it right the first time. People that walk on the wrong side of the aisle at...

My partner is, after many years, very good at calming me down and bringing me to the present. It took a lot of trust building, a lot of pushing him away to realize he wasn't going anywhere. He takes my hands, brings his face close to mine and says he loves me, that it will be ok, that this will...
