Unsubconsiously i search for triggers

[TraumaticHealing]

Everything I find interesting triggers a lot of the unsafe feelings that I am way too used too.

Very direct triggers of trauma I tend to avoid, but secondary triggers (like that make me feel unsafe and awake) I tend to search for it seems.

Any recognition? Any tips to deal with it?

You might be counter-phobic. People who are counter-phobic tend to search out what they fear, and it’s believed to be a way people try to master or control their fears.

Thanks, that sounds like it is the case in my life, a lot of (extreme) situations can be explained by this. It makes sense.
