Alright. cool next let's talk about triggers or better, how to communicate them, now sometimes with triggers, we don't even. know. what. the fuck is going on(i've been here too) where literally we feel like we might be losing or mind or uncomfortable or just not understanding-
so when we get triggered, but do not know what the. trigger is, it's best to remove ourselves, letting the person know hey i need time to myself to get it together and coming back to it later, some people can do this, some people can't but it's best to try to figure it out-
instead of trying to sweep it under the rug. You are responsible for your own emotions lol as much as most of us. wish we weren't, we truly are responsible for them and how to communicate them as well. so when triggered, seperate yourself, access the issue, get a cup or water or-
tea and tell yourself it's okay and sit with those emotions, it'll usually come to you soon after you calm your mind. also allow yourself to know your triggers because some of you do not want to know what triggers you and would rather run. do not run please it makes the process-
harder to come back to and also it can be very frustrating for the other person as well. remember that there are people who wanna help you, who wanna give you comfort and peace but you got to communicate that, even coming up with some sort of hand sign or signal will help them-
to recognize when you get triggered as well. some people really won't care though and that's the people you have to let go, no point in communicating or trying to repeat yourself to someone who won't listen, that's facts. so when communicating, whether doing it on paper, or-
speaking, just say hey I was triggered when you did so and so, and hopefully the person understands and makes sure to watch out for that. Also, try to let them know how you can be soothed as well-meaning made to feel better, some of you might just need time alone-
but for others it could be blankets and cocoa so just make sure to explain what that actually is and what they can do to make you feel much better. listening to classical music or smooth jazz helps quite a bit to calm the mind and soul as well so listen to Mozart or Debussy.-
Triggers aren't always easy to get past but they don't have to be impossible either, just remember this next time you get triggered as well and that it's not your fault.
