I have found most of them are either just unpleasant or easily moved past -  a couple just fo not even land I. Any way negatively  at all any more and aren’t triggers - they might prompt ‘memory’ that’s sad/ unfortunate but not ‘trigger’ what I think of as a PTSD reaction - and I can also see some items that used to hold pleasure as pleasurable again.  complex things like environment and language,  body language and culture that cannot as easily be dealt with by simple exposure ,   And recognition as ‘harmless’  - those - maybe an answer is the ones I don’t see resolve to .  ?</blockquote>
