What are sentences that trigger you?

For me, it is “just a little bit more” “just relax” “that doesn’t hurt” “we have to drill those cavities” “open open” “open wide… wider.” “That wasn’t so bad, was it?” “You may feel some discomfort but this won’t hurt a bit”

Exactly the phrases that send a cold shiver down my spine and give me goose bumps 😉

I experienced these sayings too often in my youth, coupled with some pretty unpleasant experiences.

I like things like ordering me to keep open, and when they say i'm doing well ...

Relax, calm down, nobody is going to hurt you, we need some help please, hold her down, we are trying to help please stop fighting, is that the haldol, this will only hurt for a second, quiet time

Edit: in a real scenario this would be the most terrifying experience… with Bipolar I any hospital situation is not one I want to be in

Get undressed Let me check your temperature. Stethoscope might be cold

Nice and wide please , ok let’s take a look , good girl , that amalgam needs replacing , we have some work to do, but wider please

Open wide, open wider you need to focus more on this area...

Let's take a look, Open wide, this filling needs monitoring...

You have a cavity and you need to get a filling.

We will be using amalgam.
