triggered trauma

I had an experience at a meeting yesterday where something that was read triggered childhood abuse trauma issues. and then it was made more intense by soemthing that was siand at breakfast afterward. It took me the rest of yesterday and today to figure out what had happened there.
It was something about someone's Higher Power using pain to *get their attention*. Yeah, see I'm working through people and powers that I trust NOT using pain to get mya ttetion because that is abusive.
Pain as a natural event because something hurts or because my actions cause me pain as a consequence of some unskillful choice I have made is different than the smack upside the head that I pictured.
I thought I needed to do an inventory to figure out what I had done wrong. No. I needed to inventory my reaction and see what the root of it was. I can have a painful reaction to something that has little basis in the present situation but deep roots in painful shildhood trauma. I helps that I can do this in days and not weeks or months now. Nice.
