I also read today, in finishing up the first steps boot camp, that comparison questions leave lasting images and triggers. I’ve addressed a trigger I experience from seeing women that fit the one descriptive characteristic my husband gave me of his affair partner, both in EMDR, as well as with our marriage therapist with no helpful resolution. It’s been about 15 months since D-Day. All other triggers are, and have been, significantly less often for quite some time. But this one comparison trigger is still very frequent. What are your thoughts about this comparison trigger still being very present past the one year mark? I want to add that yesterday, and today, I used the LIFE method you suggested to deal with triggers and I’m feeling a difference already. I’m hopeful this approach will help take the power away from this comparison trigger in a lasting way. I’m also relieved because I’ve wanted someone to understand that this trigger had a hold on me differently than any other trigger I’ve experienced.Sections: Leslie and John's callsRL_Category: Emotional RegulationIntrusive ThoughtsQ&A Recovery LibraryTrauma of InfidelityRL_Media Type: Video
