Aside from any potential triggers and flashbacks, do you experience any negative feelings when you talk about any aspect of your traumas? An example would be anger; do you feel angry when you discuss it? Is the anger directed at yourself or at the person/people who inflicted it? Do you feel vengeful towards the person you are supporting?
It's hard to support people and while you have a frame of reference in your own trauma, it's hard not to let your emotions spill out from the top. How do you manage that? I hate showing vulnerability, especially if there is something that reminds me of any aspect of my trauma(s); so, instead, I lash out in anger to show that I am powerful.
It's childish but I really have no other way to channel that energy. Does anyone else have that same issue?
