Okay. I am going to start doing the obstacle course… today I found myself get super triggered bc my son tried to scare me walking around a corner, and I have CPTSD. I sternly lectured him and raised my voice. I know I didn’t yell and I was more restrained than I had been years ago when trauma was fresh… but I’m still not pausing long enough to return to calm before starting in on correcting him and addressing the issue. I have a hard time delaying conversations bc I have ADHD too and fear I’ll forget to go back and address it after or that he’d be confused why I’m not saying anything and just going to walk around the house. But I need to prioritize calm over urgency FOR HIM! 💯💯
