Does Anyone Else Have Problems With Their Body When Triggered?

[BlueMoon_]

When I am in an emotional flashback / triggered, I really don't like to be reminded of my body. I won't go into the nitty gritty of why, because I will likely trigger myself again if I do, but it's not because I don't feel attractive - it's more related to not feeling like my body is strong enough.

Does anyone else have problems with their body like this?

Thanks for reading!

I had a hard time with aspects. Not the exact as yours with not feeling strong enough but that makes complete sense to me, why in cases of trauma that could be a very difficult and triggering thing. 

For me, it was more being reminded I had a body that was visible to other people, my therapist asking me to "go into your body" or "notice your body" and also feel and being convinced i was physically disgusting and had to keep my distance from people. So different but still similar. Im sorry you are suffering with this but am proud of you that you recognized going into detail would be triggering and not worth it. Good self awareness!

I agree with Armee that that makes perfect sense.

I have a lot of problems with my body when triggered, but different from yours which is why I didn't respond yesterday when I saw your post. I think I'd better not try and list them now, my body is getting itchy at the thought, so triggered mildly at the thought.

I don't think I have ever mentioned a symptom of mine here on the forum without at least one person saying they have that too. So I'm sure there'll be a least one other person with your symptom here, even if they don't see and respond to your post.
