I grew up in a house where my parents intentionally never raised their voices.
It’s made me unflappable in the face of shouting, but also resulted in years of misery as I learned a constructive way to handle raised voices outside of the safety of my home.
Coughing on the other hand… triggers my fight/flight every time.

I’m not sure i understand the cough thing, is it because that’s what they would do as their biggest sign of upsetness?
I know the feeling, a cough causes an instant panic for me.
