if my interests right now can sometimes remind me of a traumatic incident or if i think of a traumatic incident in the middle of doing something i like, does that mean i have to get rid of the thing i like forever?

Hi @intellectualBeechwood8141,
I don’t think you need to stop doing something that you like even though it may trigger a trauma memory. As long as you can see it as only a trigger, and still receive enjoyment from your activity, you should be okay. When I’m triggered, I just recognize it for what it is. However, I’ve come to a good place with my past trauma, even forgiving those individuals who hurt or who didn’t protect me. Gauge your feelings and go from there!! Cheers to wellness & healing! 🤗
