Emotional responses that come up when something stirs up from the past and keep in mind, these can be deep in the subconscious. It's an unwanted emotional reaction. Once the trigger is identified and you will know because it's the same cause and effect, you should ask yourself, "did this person do anything wrong?" and "am I projecting a past experience onto the situation?" Triggers can cause self sabotage. DON'T BE ASHAMED that you are triggered! This is how to heal yourself and how to help yourself when you are triggered. How to recognize if you are triggered to understand how it feels in your body: 1. Anxiety 2. Rapid thoughts 3. Looping thoughts 4. Anger 5. Agitated and Annoyed 6. Shame 7. Guilt 8. Breathing rapidly 9. Fight or Flight 10. Shutdown How to Heal: Notice the patterns. When something triggers you, dissect what happened to cause the trigger, how it feels in your body, ask yourself "what is the lesson to be learned?" THEN figure out a new way to deal with it. This is the challenging part. The body doesn't forget what happened in the past but your mind can overcome it. With enough practice and being around healthy people, when you are triggered, it becomes very obvious what the old behavior is. The healing piece of being triggered requires a lot of thought, conversations with yourself and being proactive instead of reactive. MAKE THE DECISION to be in control and to not repeat destructive behavior.
