“triggers are always super serious and not just little things” two of my Big Triggers r the lullaby ‘go to sleep little baby’ and the goddamn veggietales jonah movie. sounds p dumb and made up right? they’re both heavily related to specific memories of abuse. general discussion of abuse doesn’t always trigger me, but the mind’s a funny thing, and chooses to latch onto seemingly inane things to keep memories. you ever smell perfume and suddenly remember being 9 and sitting in a car having a certain conversation? or hear a song and remember being in middle school doing homework? it works the same way w traumatic memories. when ppl have “ridiculous” triggers, they’re not saying “oh this thing offends me tag it” they’re saying “this thing brings back a specific memory of my trauma so I try and avoid it”
