Oddly triggered by a viral event and I don't understand
Before anyone says anything, trust me, I feel so embarrassed that this has caused my brain to do what it is doing. But...here goes.
There was a recent huge case going around, and as I'm listening and watching, I realized that my experience was SO similar. No one ever attempted to harm me, but it was the messages. They reminded me so much of my husband's AP and it turned my stomach. Then, it got my brain doing its thing and trying to put pieces together that i had previously pushed to the side as irrelevant to my healing. I didn't need to know. It's fine. Everything is fine.
However, I think I'm starting to realize that I simply pushed everything down and away vs trying to process it. I am essentially pretending as if all is well.
Now I am wondering if, I'm truly getting past it, why is this coming up?
Has anyone else ever seen something on social media and had it trigger their betrayal trauma?
