Who’s triggering you?

We all have triggers (intense emotional or physical reactions) and that's OK. 

We can be triggered by anyone, a  friend, a relative, a co-worker a stranger. Triggers can be a result of something seemingly minor, a simple word or action that just sends you in a tailspin.

What I have learned as a guide in my client’s (and even my own) healing journey is that whatever causes you to get triggered can be a sign of where more healing is needed. 

The important thing is to see why an action or behavior is triggering you...making you upset, shut down, or just feeling off.

Ask yourself:

What are some behaviors that really trigger me?

What are some of my responses to triggers?

What do I  believe about myself, that the trigger is highlighting?

That is a good place to start to get to the deeper meaning of your triggers.

Whatever they are, instead of rejecting that part of yourself or projecting it onto another, identify it, feel it and recognize it as a teacher. Those behaviors that 'get to you' could be a clue to what needs healing in you.,

See what it means for you ~ about you. Go in. Take time for you to see what it may be connected to. Maybe something from your past?

So next time someone triggers you, first take a deep breath and BREATHE! Then try to see it not only as a trigger but as a signal that there is an area in your life that you may need to take a deep look at…...
