In today's episode I talk about PTSD triggers, how they originate, how they take over an otherwise rational mind and before you know it, there is a full blown nuclear explosion, complete with ranting and raging about whatever it is at that moment.
As usual, I use myself as the guinea pig and let you inside my mind for a close, up and personal look at my trigger response.
How do I get triggered?
How do I act it out those triggers?
What is happening for me at that moment?
What do I do that helps?
PTSD triggers and C-PTSD triggers are ignited by different things with different people, but there are many common characteristics, from the chemical cocktail that the hippocampus, adrenal and pituitary glands unleash into your brain to the deep, dark depression and potential suicide that follow these triggering events.
Everyone connected to PTSD needs to EDUCATE themselves. There isn't anyone on earth who can deal with this tragic state of being while keeping your head stuck in the sand or someplace even darker.
Here are a couple of good websites that provide really solid information. I found them in virtually milliseconds on Google. There are literally thousands of sites dedicated to the healing of PTSD and C-PTSD. You are bound to find something helpful.
