I don't think triggers will ever go away they will always be part of some emotional association which is hard to manipulate or trick your mind out of. Many triggers prevent me from enjoying life too.

Are you seeing a therapist to learn how to deal with the triggers head on?

If you are somebody who appears irrational about their triggers, as in there are many you must avoid to get through the day, like me, I have realised that the only way to eliminate the triggers is to accept that they are there, and actually get used to being triggered by them as often as possible. It sounds NUTS but you get used to them being part of the spontenuity of life and then you will begin to rationalise these triggers and put them into perspective..

However there are some triggers which I will not work on because I do not believe they are my issue - like people being rude or aggressive to me - that is a main one, whether on the phone, face to face or in a message or going to busy places for example - this is still setting me back from my career.
