I can explain my triggers. Down to the core. But those triggers will repeat until I fully heal. A lot of times we bury it. We don’t want to deal. At the surface we act fine. We don’t let that buried pain affect us. But then something happens. A word. A song. A memory. Is all it takes for the pain to resurface. When it resurfaces it can be ugly. At the moment you don’t know why you’re angry or sad but as it’s happening the brain is trying to understand the heart and the emotions.
I am not perfect. I have healings to still do. I have acted like some situations were fine and I was over them but then a word or song or memory reminded me I wasn’t. That I still had pain from situations that I had buried.
No one gets it what you’re feeling at that moment because they aren’t in your head or body. So when you are triggered have a safe word before reacting. Before saying something you don’t mean. Before taking actions. Try to take a break. Regroup. Refocus.
It’s ok to not be perfect. It’s ok to show your weak side. It’s ok to go in a room alone and cry or yell. What’s not ok is to take it out on someone. Forgive yourself. Forgive the people who brought you pain. Release and focus on healing.
I got your back 💜
