Wow this is incredibly relatable. I have been on the receiving end of this, but also as a survivor of mental and physical abuse, I realize that I am also extremely easily triggered. I am in therapy and trying my best to manage those impulses as best I can to avoid hurting myself as well as people who had absolutely nothing to do with the trauma: eg my friends and family. Thank you for sharing.
Yes!
Me too, though I hadn't considered therapy. Might actually now try that.
It's been life changing. I was supposed to go for 8 sessions last year but stayed for 16. I will be going back again soon.
