[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 757228, member: 22840"] Oh Copa, I'm sorry this is bothering you so much. I trigger on things, sometimes it takes me a bit to figure out I'm actually triggering and then what it's about. A bit ago I had to start with identifying what I was actually feeling when things got weird and then took it from there. So you know you are reacting to something, from somewhere, that's good. I don't know if you've tried some thinking/feeling exercises when this happens. So if you have then just disregard what follows here. I do something along the lines of asking myself what is bothering me here? And then depending on the answer I go into other questions. Like why questions. And then what does this remind me of kind of questions. And further, what is the worst thing that can happen kind of questions, considering I am where I am right now in life and the age I am, now. And then what if this turns out different, and what if it doesn't type questions. And what are the benefits no matter what kind of questions. That kind of stuff. On a lighter note ~ I took art classes all through high school. I have some creative talent in things I've discovered since then but nothing that was covered in those art classes.
