wow, thats a very good question. And Im so sorry you are having trouble with this. When my past is triggered by something all I can do is re-focus on the present. The here and now,telling myself that things are ok. And just taking a deep breathe. Wish I knew more to tell you.

Well what I meant was that there are so many triggers that just waking up is one big trigger. In retrospect I do not think it makes much sense sorry.

I understand what you meant,.. that as soon as you wake up, there is usually something that triggers you right away, and you have them often throughout the day? is that right?

If that's what you meant, I think trying relaxation exercises would be a good place to start, and realizing that you are safe now.. whatever it takes to remind you that you are safe.. even saying outloud, "the past happened, and I lived, and I am safe now" that is something I was told to say and it helped me a lot. Its called a positive affirmation, and they can really help.
