Are You Being Triggered Again?
That sudden emotional surge,
tight chest, racing thoughts, the urge to react…Pause and breathe!
Before you spiral into a story or lash out in defense, ask yourself:
Who in me is being triggered?
Is it the adult I am now, grounded, aware, and wise?
Or is it a younger part of me, the adaptive child, the unseen, unheard part of me, still carrying wounds?
How old am I right now?
5? 9? 17?
That reaction is a doorway to something unhealed, an invitation to meet yourself with compassion, and not shame.
Triggers are here to wake you and to reveal the parts of you that are still waiting to be witnessed, to help you reclaim your power, piece by piece.
So the next time you feel that heat rising do not run from it or try to suppress it.
Pause. Observe. Witness.
True healing begins when there is awareness and when you choose to be present with what arises, instead of pushing it away.
