Being triggered by my daughter

My daughter is 12m. We have had a really rough ride in terms of the baby stage and I have given everything to try and do right by her. There is something about the way she lashes out at me when I try to comfort her that I find so triggering, to the point where it has filled me with rage and I've had to immediately take myself to a different room to release it. I can name the feeling, that "even my best isn't good enough" but I can't place where it stems from in my past to help me put a different perspective on it. It's just like a continuous cycle because I can't resolve where it's really coming from (I know it's not actually her). Does anyone have any advice? I've already spoken to perinatal MHT but they will only offer me an online course which is not what I need.

This just appeared as a suggested similar thread under another I was reading. I'm so sorry to see that nobody replied and just wondered how you are doing several months on?

Hi OP, have you had any help? This sounds like some trauma and I hope a counselor can help.
