This is very good. I am going to read it again slowly when I get a chance. I dont know if this is "mindfulness" but it helps me to stay aware and "mindful" of what I am feeling during the day so that I can at the very least recognize when I am triggered. I have been SO used to being triggered and having an automatic denial that anything is bothering me or just "leaving" and dissociating my way out of a trigger. It takes a lot of energy to recognize and focus on a trigger. And it is HARD. The good thing that comes out of it is I can TRY to tell myself I am safe in this situation. That I am triggered, but nothing bad is happening. It doesnt always work, maybe half the time it works, but I think that is the direction to go in for me. Being mindful as much as I can tolerate.
