Do you have any men with whom you could practice shouting at each other as a desensitisation practice / safe environment to practice skills around your response?

This did ~help me, I think. I had the fear response in the first 10 seconds or so, but then could kind of see what had happened, see the guy’s sorta-anger in a way that wasn’t triggering, then rewatch the video. Unlikely that I could have done that IRL/ in real time though...
I kinda feel like IRL/in real time is such a hard mode version of this that chipping away at the edges with easier versions like video is needed before it becomes approachable.

Like, angry shouty men are in some sense intrinsically scary because there's an actual plausible threat. I find angry shouty men difficult to deal with too and I don't have anything like this sort of trigger.
