That's great news @cali-girl! What a relief it must be to be able to feel triggers and stresses wash over you without digging in their claws.

Yes, it is a relief. I'll never be able to control the things other people or situations throw at me, but it's very helpful to be able to control my response to those external things.
I've felt that on occasion too and wondered at how easy life must be for those who have more control over their fight or flight mechanism in social interactions. Preaching to the choir I think!
