RE: Choosing to Own My Story While in a PTSD Trigger (You Can Too!)
Good for you, isolating, identifying , and dissipating your trigger. I usually try for deep breaths, relaxing my body part by part, and moving THROUGH the event by focusing on my "reward" at the end, which, come to think of, might be slightly unhealthy in some ways. In any case, thank you for sharing this.
I think a reward at the end is a good way to transform the experience from negative into positive. I generally embrace pain to dissipate it. I like what you're saying about moving through it. This caught me so off guard... I am going to keep that in mind because if I'd taken a breath I think I might have steadied some. And if I knew I'd get a spoon of peanut butter. . .
