I've started replacing scary images with cute ones in my mind. I've noticed a difference in ease to deal with negativity.

The energy of outside sources can also affect me greatly, that's why I stopped watching shows and films that have a lot of blood in them. It amplified my negative thoughts, the bad feelings, feeling ill in my body, scary images running through my mind, thus amplifying my CPTSD symptoms. After stopping though and even "safe" shows, I will close my eyes if I feel something might be too much for me, even if it's super mild, and it has helped so much. although I enjoyed the show for the characters and story line, the best thing I could have done was stop watching Game of Thrones.
