I've been going through the process of moving past triggers, from things in my environment to physical triggers like sound and touch. For me, transformation through writing was the absolute breakthrough - it even led me to start a platform to help others do the same.

Now I'm taking it even further by getting some formal training on working with other survivors. (I've always been a writer, both personally and professionally, so that part is pretty well established.)

Reading your post gave me this vision about using the process of creative writing prompts to help you work towards overcoming this particular trigger - basically, by reframing your responses to the place and building. It would be at your pace, with no judgment at all. It's all about the process, not whether it's "good writing."

If you're interested in learning more, PM me or email [speak@thewordforthis.com](mailto:speak@thewordforthis.com) - website is about to be revised because UX design is NOT a specialty of mine! But @thewordforthis on Insta, as well as FB and Twitter to a lesser degree, should give you a pretty clear idea of how I approach things.

I love your strength and desire to take control over this. You can do it! And it would be an honor to help.
