Focused on healing 💭

Hi everyone. I have been dealing with trauma a lot recently and it's really starting to bother me because it feels like I can't do anything about it. This trauma occurs most of the time when I get in contact with something that has to do with my past abuser (who's not in my life anymore). Today I was put in a groupchat by a friend of mine and as the nosy person I am, I decided to check the profile pictures. One girl had a profile picture with someone who looked so similar to my abuser that I genuinely thought it was him, and I started to freak out and feel horrible. But how do I heal from that? How do I get rid of that fear when I see him or see something that resembles him? It's not like I can or even want to stare into his face until I'm not scared of him anymore. Just the look of him makes me feel physically sick. But happenings like this make me think that I don't want to keep being afraid. But I just don't know how and where to start. Does someone have any suggestions? Thank you (:
