i too have problems with triggers. thank you for this topic!  i'll be checking back to see the replies. we can learn so much from each other.
the one thing that does help me some is to try to take what triggers me into a positive action. meaning writing a protest letter or becoming involved with a group that agrees with my position on harming animals, etc. it's a small step but it allows me a way to express my emotions in a healthier manner.
