Are you Easily Offended? Or Triggered?
I used to be easily offended and triggered in my younger years... I didn't get mad... instead I got sad and anxious.
I often heard, "you are TOO Sensitive" from men I dated?
I also heard, "you are SOOO Serious." Even from friends. And it would just make me cry on the inside or I would be dumbfounded with silence, or both.
π One day I had to stop and ask myself, why do I really get offended? Really? Why do I get so easily triggered?
β
οΈ I didn't believe in ... myself.
β
It was difficult to love my self because of trauma.
β
I cared more about what others thought of me than my own Self Love.
β
It was difficult to set boundaries regarding certain relationships.
All of this was in response to unhealed trauma.
π When I healed my trauma, owned my own value, and believed in myselfπ
β€οΈ It was easier to separate truth from limiting beliefs from lies from people's opinions.
β€οΈ I was "less sarcastic."
β€οΈ I stopped people pleasing.
β€οΈ I began to see the life lessons imbedded in the criticism.
β€οΈ I learned not to take it so personally.
β€οΈ I was able to set boundaries.
Now I help other women, let go of their pain, stress and trauma.... and build Healthier Relationships.
