i think triggered by T is when T says or does something that brings up strong feelings/memories from our pasts that we end up having an emotional reaction to.

my T and I had had a misunderstanding that caused difficulty for me. in the next session he apologized and gestured putting a gun to his head and pulling the trigger with his hand as a way to emphasize (poorly) how badly he felt for his mistake the week before. this triggered me. i kept seeing this in my mind again and again, flashing back to the times I have had a gun to my own head, had me thinking about going to buy a gun, all kinds of crazy for me. he felt really bad after that. now he says he is afraid to say/gesture anything for fear of triggering me.
