Triggers are a part of life for some of us...we have a past traumatic stress
that haunts us and for the most part we learn to cope, live and move on...then
out of the blue, smack bang! Something will set us off.
It can literally send us so far back into panic mode that we lose all sense of
reality back into a world that's not real anymore and it can be so easy to
become lost in that memory.
This is a trigger!
But a trigger is not the thing that happened; it is just that, a memory. Nothing more!
For most of us the initial trauma is usually something that was out of our control & the mental scars are something we have to learn to deal with.
Our triggers however only have as much power as we are willing to give them.
Take back the control as hard as that is.
Don't feed it....hang onto reality really tightly now, use what you can see, touch, smell, feel...until the moment passes, & it will!
If you only learn one thing today it is this...
Your trigger isn't real. Your trigger isn't real. Your trigger isn't real!
This is a trigger!
