To start of with- yes I’ve gone to therapy, I’ve done a lot of internal work and I’ve come a very long way.

I have an ex, co-parent who is very high conflict about everything. I’ve been traumatized by him in the past and when we first broke up he would send me in a downwards spiral.

Now days, I’m fine and usually the conflict only bothers me at the time and then I’m quickly over it. But the anxiety that pours over me when I see a text from him - even if it doesn’t last long- is something I can’t seem to shake off. What I do that seems to help is turn off his message notifications. But is there anything that has helped you? Wondering what has helped others.
