@Change123. What I meant by having support around you - when you write your letter - is tohave support aavailable should you need it. Eg: ph your gp or psychologist and get an appointment straight away. Or a friend who is very good at listening and supporting you and helping you calm down. You may not need this at all. You may be ok writing the letter - shedding a tear and then moving on.
I'd explain clearly to your partner tonight about your need to avoid raised voices. And how your home needs to be a safe place where this trigger can be avoided at all times. Then discuss what he could do instead if he gets frustrated. Make sure it is something you are both comfortable with.
Yes, some people are able to try and desensitise a trigger - but I think this needs to be done with the help of an expert - a psychologist. The last thing you need is to make your anxiety and PTSD worse.
