Hey Friends, 

Being triggered can be a challenging and emotional experience, but it's also an opportunity for growth and self-awareness. 

💔❤️ I've seen many people struggle with understanding and managing their triggers, but with the right tools and support, it's possible to gain greater insight into your emotions and reactions.

Here are the most common ways being emotionally triggered can look like:

  1. 💬Shutting down: When you're triggered, you may feel like withdrawing from the world and not wanting to talk to anyone.  
  2. 🤐Not wanting to talk: You may feel overwhelmed and not want to engage in conversation or social interaction.   
  3. 🌀Zoning out: Triggers can also cause you to zone out or dissociate from the present moment.       
  4. 💥Lashing out with anger (or other strong emotions): Triggers can lead to explosive reactions and intense emotions, such as anger or frustration.
  5. 💔Clinging to a situation/person/etc.: Triggers can also cause you to cling to a situation, person, or object in an attempt to feel safe or secure.
  6. 😢Crying: Triggers can also lead to feelings of sadness or tears.

💡Being aware of your triggers and understanding your patterns can help you break out of unconscious mental cycles and behaviors.

By recognizing your triggers, you can take steps to manage your emotions and react in healthier ways.                 

Seek support from friends, family, or a mental health professional if you need it. ❤️
