I handled many of my triggers by 1) blowing up verbally and limitedly 2) more importantly, getting the training I needed to work professionally in an area that deals with one of my major trigger areas; children that need help. Other areas I choose a more set way of trying to handle my triggers by donating set amounts or being active in more long term manners, such as churhc project or awareness raising activities for a limited number of causes. Otherwise I risk letting myself be drained completely and frittering away my energies on whatever hits me hardest at a given time. That's just me, the proverbial loose cannon

This way I try to make my tiny drop in the ocean as effective as I can. HUGGS all.
