Sunrise-- as usual said what I was trying to say-- but I didn't say it as clearly.

what you describe doesn't sound like being triggered to me. It sounds like it is not harkening back to some experience in your past, but all about how your T is acting in the present. It is definitely possible to feel unhappy or frustrated with our T's behavior and responses without it being due to a trigger.
a "trigger" is not really a feeling of upset.... it's a HUGE feeling of being sucked into a black hole.... rational thinking is "out the window" and the act of being present is also murky.
What you've been talking about doesn't sound like being triggered.... well, that's my opinion anyway. You don't sound "lost in the spiral" -- as I like to refer to it.
and that's a good thing for you!
