What images were triggered for you?

What does this remind you of?
What previous experiences were brought to mind by these facts?

Which part of this worries you the most?
Which part of this is exciting for you?
Which part of this intrigued you?
What triggered warning bells for you?

What part did you identify with?
How does this affect you personally?
What part of this was most powerful for you?
