How to cope?
I was diagnosed with Childhood PTSD. Sometimes I have triggers, usually they do not effect my life except at work. How do functional people with PTSD cope with triggers at work? And recommendations?

I am sorry to know you have childhood PTSD and that triggers affect you at work.
Do you feel there's some aspects of your work , the nature of work, the workplace , location ,people around that evoke your triggers ?
Maybe you can try listing what usually triggers you and then try to avoid those.
A handy tool kit can be helpful also. How do you feel about keeping something that helps you relax close so that in times of need you can use that to cope ?
For example, some people listen to music, draw/ paint , walk , journal, or talk to trusted ones that can help them distract from the triggers and allow them to be calm .
