Looking back, this all seems mostly correct, but missing a couple, assumed steps.
I’ve talked to one person since about their mild anxiety talking to certain types of people; I found two additional steps that helped them.
Actually trying to become better
Understanding that their reaction is appropriate for some situations (like the original trauma), but it’s overgeneralized to actually safe situations.
These steps are assumed in this post because, in my case, it’s obvious I’m overreacting (there’s no drone) and I understand PTSD is common and treatable. Step 2 is very much Kaj Sotala’s internal family system’s post while this post is mainly about accessing lower-level sensory information about the trauma-reaction.
