If you have some coping strategies, but you're not completely solid on knowing what to do if you're triggered by something other than her, then remember to keep working on those and then try to figure out how to apply those to when you're triggered by her. It's harder to apply when triggerd by a person, but its easier when they're figured out already.

(And this is a combination of suggestions from my therapist and dog training methods... I'm amused)

Thanks a bunch TuttleTurtle Will definitely have to try and find some better coping strategies for meltdowns. It's hard when what I know does work for me, I can't do because there is no way I can escape off to do them. But, back to the drawing board to see what works
