It's been a year since I was hurt by my scumbag ex. But when I run into him occasionally, I still tremble with fear, want to cry, and feel sick to my stomach. How do I adjust myself?

I understand how you feel, it's really tough to encounter someone who caused you pain. Maybe try focusing on your growth and the positive aspects of your life now. Over time, those encounters will lose their power over you.
It sounds like a deeply painful experience. Have you considered speaking with a therapist? They can offer strategies to help manage those feelings when you bump into him.
Hey, I'm sorry you're going through this. It might help to remind yourself that you're safe now. Those reactions are part of healing, and they will fade as you build more distance emotionally.
Facing your ex can be triggering, but remember you've moved on from that chapter. Surround yourself with supportive people who remind you of your worth. That can make all the difference.
It's okay to feel this way; healing takes time. Try setting intentions for how you want to feel in those moments. With practice, you'll regain control of your emotional response.
