Really trying to understand - so would it be fair/correct to say triggers could equal PTSD (say for the abused)?
What is a Trigger? | Psych Central
After reading above, I know that I have issues with watching movies/tv with anything that resembles verbal/emotional abuse - it makes me very uncomfortable, but doesn't trigger any real reaction from me other than I may change the channel or leave the room and may increase my anxiety slightly.
I am really trying to figure out what is the codependency actions/reactions and what is "normal" actions/reactions to situations.
