These are skills you will use in both your personal and work life.
… and it takes time, lots of trail & error to develop the social skills to counter other’s defensiveness and control your’s, but in say 5 years, you will develop this “magically” skill to control males and de-escalate their defensiveness.
I wish it wasn’t your responsibility to be the bigger, emotionally mature one, but it is.
Whether it’s your family, work, mate or kids, being female makes you the default to learn emotional maturity first and then teach others.

Recovery is not some pill that you take & magically things get better.
Your traumas, understandably, have over-activated your body’s survival system, and the ONLY ANSWER IS FOR YOU to re-calibrate them: all those hormones involved in depression & anxiety.
I promise that I will not give up. I understand that my body is pre-programmed and will want to automatically reset to the default setting when challenged. This does not mean failure but a needed test on my road to more effectiveness.
I promise to remember this process is more like building a muscle than a magic pill that makes everything better.
I completely agree & understand that ONLY I CAN make this work through repeated repetition when things are calm & then during practice events. No one can do this work for me.
