When CPTSD is active and our brains and emotions are dysregulated, we can be easily triggered by things that upset us — things people say and do (or don’t do), things that are shocking or hurtful, and just everyday stressors.
Getting triggered can cost us hours and days of disruption, so the search for a “safe space” can be an urgent one, yet hard to find.
