How Long Is Your Recovery Time After A Big Trigger Incident?

Many of my reactions are delayed so its hard to figure out an exact recovery time. I'm pretty famous for this... I can be ok for a day, two days, maybe even three days sometimes, and then it hits the fan and I'm left trying to figure out what happened. Right now in my mind I'm trying to separate my triggers from my stressors, and yeah, I'd say that many of my triggers have delayed reactions whereas my stressors have much more immediate reactions. It also depends on what the trigger is. If its related to my sexual abuse, I can bounce back within minutes (these triggers hit only in intimate moments). If its related to my emotional abuse, the recovery time can be more on the scale of weeks.
