welcome mya26. Many of us here don’t trust our own feelings or thought process and use this site for support and help. I suffer from PTSD stemming all time frames in my life. I needed a PTSD counselor to start dealing with what I couldn’t understand about myself. You arent alone feeling triggered in anyway. I have pushed many people from my past away because they don’t understand that I’ve changed over time and I don’t need to feel triggered by people I thought cared for me. I think the good news is you said a new relationship. Maybe this is a fresh start. I think it’s normal to feel anxious and maybe insecure in a new relationship when you have a past that you are struggling with. Heck, new relationships make us all vulnerable. I can say though, let new people in if you can and with caution. I’m reading a lot about life phases and the types of support we need. Think about your next chapter and what you want it to look like. I have been able to rid the trauma from a few situations and those are very big wins for me.
