Well, I don't know if they count as 'weird' but my triggers include;

- people playing with their hands - tapping them on the table or in any other way.

- being alone anywhere for a long period of time (4+ hours).

- sleeping on my back - which I don't do often, but I sometimes happen to lie that way for a minute and... yeah.

Don't know what triggers are exactly... actually...

But I think this one is a trigger, and a really weird one...

Shrek 2... Dinner scene... Shrek and the chicken! I felt physically sick and very tired and very tense!

I can watch r*pe scenes in movies without it bothering me too much...

I can to some extend read about it without it bothering me too much...

And then I have a problem with Shrek...?!

The smell of wheat germ oil and honey shampoo

Sex

intimacy

porn

relationships

love

certain Pink Floyd songs

tree lined roads in the summer

hiking boots

guys with dark hair

I used to have triggers

Elvis presely songs

Men who look like my perps

Certain names

porn

any photos of women/girls in underwear

People who talk about the porn industry as if there's nothing wrong with it.

men who touch me without permission

Sex toys

Actually one thing really gets up my nose is catalogues where they have young girls wearing makeup. I hate it with a passion. That's about the only hang up I have these days.

My current triggers seem to be;

A particular type of vehicle (van)

Men with goatees or glasses (major trigger - i'm sure i scowl at every man who resembles him)

Situations where i'm not believed

insensitive comments from people re rape "jokes" etc

rape scenes in movies - not because of the scene per se, but because of the stupid portrayal they seem to have.

Some Triggers for me,

Cheap Cologne

Me too. My main abuser always wore either Old Spice or Brute. Now all strong, cheap colonge, male or female variety makes me sick.

I think my weirdest trigger is probably being stuck in traffic. It has absolutely nothing to do with what happened. But it's that sense of being trapped, and not able to get away.

Swings at the park, slides at the park...benches at the park

the smell of a park after they mow the lawn...

May trigger***

And the part in the movie, "saving private ryan" where the two soilders fight, and the one kills the other with a knife...just the way he says ...shhhhhh...its ok...as he's killing him...it just sends me reeling.

The smell of Shalimar perfume

Lollipops

Hi, Im new to this kind of thing...

I have some weird triggers, though i havent figured all of them out

-Having my arms grabbed or pinched forcefully

-a certain type of doorknob, just the sight of which sends me into a flashback

-very tall, blonde men

I have some pretty violent flashbacks, and im not really sure why

if anyone has more experience with it, any input would be great
