@Sunshinesgone I just shut it off, not let it linger a second more in my thoughts. And, I immediately focus on something else, a task in hand etc.

@Sunshinesgone

Well when something triggers you I feel like instantly closing your eyes and js make sure your sitting and go to the basic tricks like the 54321 ground tricks so that your brain can come to it senses and pull u into the room rather than staying triggered and breathing rapidly. And splashing cold water on your face can ease you out a bit

@Sunshinesgone, I wonder if you have tried any grounding exercises, such as focusing on your breath, bilateral tapping or feeling the earth beneath your feet. These can help some people, but there are lots of options to try until you find the one that works best for you.
