#SurvivorTough

Trickier triggers are less obvious. Being dismissed or disbelieved when I voice an issue can send me into a spiral reliving court and having my pedophilic abuser acquitted (+ awarded custody of more children, including my siblings) which of course leads to disproportionate reactions.

#SurvivorTough

Some of my triggers are (I feel) obvious-- I can't stand a certain brand of pop, for instance, that my abuser was fond of and I oftan drank following abuse.

I don't like being touched on the throat (even turtleneck shirts can be a problem) because I was strangled.

I tried to face the pop as a trigger and can drink it but I still don't *want* to.

Hi! Our #SurvivorTough chat starts over on Twitter at 3pm EST. Today's subject: Triggers, we all have them, especially this time of year. They can be sneaky, hitting us out of nowhere. Known Triggers we can manage. What are your experiences in dealing with Triggers?

Tweet #SurvivorTough on that platform to join. All our chats are archived at www.survivortough.org.

@survivortough is the survivor group I am a member of. If you are a survivor of #csa be sure to follow that account and post with the #SurvivorTough hashtag. We have a chat every Tuesday 3pm EST on Twitter, which will continue over there as long as it is safe to do so, but if Twitter becomes too toxic we will start posting here instead.
