I know what it is like to be triggered at work, at my internship I was triggered majorly. I do an internship at a juvenile center, and something bad happened a few weeks ago. I wanted to quit because I was triggered by one boy who did something. But I talked things over with several people and I am going to finish my 10 hours or so.It was so hard to stay because I wanted to quit and do what I have always done in that situation.
I am sure you really don't want to quit, if it wasn't for this one woman. But I do believe you have to do what you are more comfortable with. But at least you know it is the other women, no really yourself. Your boss probably knows this too or he wouldn't convince you to stay. But it is so awkward, isn't it? To stay or quit, it is hard either way.
My T is trying to get me to do different when I am triggered, it is a slow progress though.When I am being threatened, I will react and fight back because I am scared and will defend myself, I guess it is part of being a survivor or I will quit or runaway from the situation.
My T said it kept me alive. I don't try to hurt others to hurt them, it is mostly because I feel threatened by them when they try to do stuff to me or take things away from me. It is always a reaction to what someone did to me first. I will probably always defend myself against others who try to hurt me first.I noticed my older dog acting this way when the new puppy came home. He was afraid of the way the puppy was trying to play, so she had to growl and bark at her, not because she was mean, but because she was trying to defend himself and because he was scared.
I think dogs do a lot of similar things that people do in behavior and psychology.
