Triggers are not flaws to fix; they’re messages from parts of us still seeking safety. When we meet them with curiosity instead of shame, we begin the real work of healing.
Our nervous system holds memory just as our mind does and when it reacts, it’s not misbehaving; it’s remembering. By asking, “Is this about now or then?”, we interrupt the automatic replay of old pain and create space for conscious response.
Emotional maturity isn’t about never being triggered ,it’s about recognizing what our triggers reveal and responding with compassion instead of defense.
Healing begins the moment we stop judging our reactions and start listening to what they’re trying to teach us..
