[quote=Anonymous]In case it's helpful to anyone, Jen Lumanlan runs this "taming your triggers" course that I've heard good things about. I haven't done it myself but I took her other course and it was helpful. I work in the mental health field and would say my first response to op is I'm so sorry you experienced that as a child, and it's not your fault that you struggle with this - it's so so hard to break patterns and it sounds like you're doing a great job. and the number one first thing I'd recommend if you can get access is EMDR therapy. it sounds kind of weird, but it works really well. DBT to follow up and gain some skills like another poster mentioned would be awesome too (many therapists trained in EMDR will be trained in DBT too).

But if therapy is hard to access or out of range for whatever reason, https://yourparentingmojo.com/tamingyourtriggers/ this might be a decent alternative. It won't address the trauma you've experienced necessarily but I think helps to respond to it. It's not open right now but she opens it pretty frequently so you can sign up for updates.[/quote]
