> PTSD, a lifetime of it, has given me a certain set of skills. Most of them have had to do with avoidance. Triggers are unforeseen in so many cases that it can be wearing to be on my guard at all times. Once I know of obvious triggers, I can either deal with them - because they aren't the threat they once were; or I can walk away (avoidance). Which is not a weakness, but a strength.
Being able to deal with them is a strength, too. How do you make them not the threat they once were?
