strange triggers (was Re: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in KO...

[Guest guest]

-Egads! Rap music gets to me! But I don't think it is an

official " trigger. " But there is something about the beat that sends

every cell in my body vibrating in a chaotic pattern. I can even tune

it out to where I don't THINK I am hearing it - and suddenly my whole

body is in chaos...

I have worked with some of my triggers - mostly using NLP techniques

for " unanchoring " them (or detaching the emotional reaction from the

stimuli)

Yet - for me - some of the strangest triggers I cannot explain. They

don't hit often - but when they do - they HIT.

They are the ones that I don't even KNOW what they are or what they

are triggering - therefore they are kind of out of my reach for

working with them.

I will be somewhere doing something - and suddenly just get

overwhelmed with a sort of dejavu feeling and usually feel

overwhelmingly sick to my stomach - and then it is like I ALMOST find

the memory and make the connection.. though it is not like I am

searching for it - but still the memory is ALMOST there - like I get

a recognition of it on some level that is VERY real - but not a

cognitive one - but it slips away BEFORE I can grasp it. So I really

don't know what it is yet.
