This is actually the exception to the rule.

Two people can go through the exact same life event and have a completely different experience of it.

It was everything that was happening beforehand that lead to that breaking point moment.

Responding To The Trigger Differently Is The Only Way You’re Going To Heal It

Thuanny Gantuss

Triggers are actually tipping points.

At first, this will be uncomfortable.

In fact, almost everything inside of you is going to want to engage.

January Nelson

Your brain is going to start releasing chemicals that youll start feeding off of.

This will make it seem absolutely impossible to disengage.

You will, first, have to get back in your body.

The real transformation is not mental, but physical.

Move, breathe, exercise.

This is what helps you re-regulate the fight-or-flight response that compels you to engage in the trigger.

you oughta pry into the deepest corners of your psyche.

This is where you will have to start to build willpower.

Over time, the triggers will stop showing up.

Maybe some of those are still with you now.

Chances are, youve forgotten about the majority of the hardest things you ever endured.

This is because you grew.

The same thing has to happen now.

Then you have to start choosing it.

Trying to control the trigger into not existing anymore will never work.

The only answer is to change the way you react.

This doesnt mean you shove your feelings down.

This doesnt mean you pretend youre unbothered.

This doesnt mean you give a shot to avoid everything that might upset you.

The triggers in your life do not exist to hurt you or keep you stuck.

They exist to show you where you are not yet free.
