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.

[inocencia]

Most of the usual ones.

But some of my weird ones include:

Farenheit perfume
Porcelain dolls
Peter Pan
Salvador Dali's "Christ of Saint John of the Cross" painting
Wooden stairs
Red carpets
Standing clocks (especially ones with chimes)
Silver trophies
Smell of cumin (spice)

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

[Silent2Long]

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.

[SurvivingTheStorm]

Guys with long blond hair. :blush:/>

[Barbibear]

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

[Ezabelle]

Promite and white caps. =\

[KBeth07]

Any mention of the following...

NASCAR/ any kind of racing
The phrase 'in a pickle'
the state of New Jersey
Goatees

[thewindspeaks]

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
