A trigger is something or someone that yanks your chain and upsets you whether its tears or a rage from hell, It's a huge response not just a passing thought.

I have numerous "triggers" . Therapy has helped me to cope with triggers and lessen there affect on me.. Tough work and sometimes you are unable to remove the trigger completely,

Some common triggers could be

A song , a movie, a certain person or persons, A particular smell. having a confrontation with others.

I feel its always a good thing to educate your triggers, that way you can hopefully cope with it instead of just " react" it.

Hope that helps Ultra
