In reply to Rudy Guiliani scares me *csa trigger*, posted by Racer on December 8, 2007, at 13:05:01
I can. My new department chair's appearance was a big trigger for me - to the point that I would start to tremble when he was near.
I had to face it because there was no getting around it. I mean, I couldn't avoid my boss and the constant trembling/avoidance/crying was really making me look bad.
Guiliani may very well get the nomination and you can't run from it for long.
A combination of mindfullness training and the old combination of "looking at pictures, looking at them live, and then holding one" (for me that meant scheduling a short meeting with him) worked for me.
In short, I can relate to the fear, but it is not an insurmountable one.
Best
