@obrerx@actuallyautistic I've read many of those PTSD books in the past, and all of them were massively triggering. The Complex C-PTSD book caused a flashback and full on meltdown. I'd just be careful reading those books.
What's helped me the most was telling myself when I got reminded of someone who hurt me, "They're long gone from my life and can't hurt me anymore. I'm safe now. No sense in dwelling on it." Dwelling on the past was just continuing the abuse I endured because of them.
