[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to fight to put that aside and make happy memories. You can't change what happened but you can change the way you react. When it comes up, count to 5, smile and move on. Don't live in the past hon. Let it go. Merry Christmas. [/quote] This PP offers terrible advice. If OP could turn off the triggers, I'm certain she would do just that. Triggers suck. They open up a flood of unpleasant feelings. I have found journaling to be helpful. There's really nothing you can do but sort out the feelings as they come and try to move past them. It seems easier to me to deal since I accepted it is just going to keep happening. It's not as offensive and I spend less energy getting mad that it is happening [i]again[/i].[/quote]
