In the past I’ve been in a abusive relationship. It’s been a year and I keep on getting triggered when I hear there name. How do I cope with this? I feel so stressed out, I just want to happy and not let them have this control over me

The name thing is something I still struggle with and I’ve been out of my relationship for 4 years. Unfortunately my current husband has a brother with the same first name so I have to hear it a lot. Hopefully over time it becomes less triggering. Honestly kind of helps in some form knowing other people with the name so I can try to connect it to them more than my ex. Maybe even watching a show with characters with the same name might “desensitize” and help you connect that name to something outside of the abuse
Therapy, time, an understanding partner with mutual honest communication (when you’re ready). Klonopin if I know I’m going to be in a situation that might be triggering
