I think that it is good to get at the root of the trigger by talking about it in therapy. I think that you can work through the trigger so that it doesn't trigger you anymore. I have done this. When triggered I also focus on it and tell myself that it is about the past and it isn't about today and what triggered me. Both of these have really worked for me. I call it working the trigger from both ends.
