Knowing the trigger is good. Reminding yourself that this is why you are upset is good too because it helps you to understand and reminding yourself what is the past and what is the present when you are triggered will be helpful. Expressing those feelings that are coming up will help. Eventually discussing this time period from the past with a therapist will help you to diffuse the trigger especially if you can release the emotions about it.
