Certainly if I became fearful or angry those parts who deal with those feelings would show up. There are times when fear is triggered and I don't know why or anger is triggered and I don't know why. Those are the only two things where the term triggered applied. All the other switching is functional for daily life. I am now comfortable with the term triggered although I think it needs to have a broader definition so as to remove the negative connotations.

the broad definition of trigger is ..... anything (person place or thing) that causes something / someone to react, happen or exist.
examples...
mixing the colors yellow and blue is the trigger to change those colors to the color green.
labor is the trigger for how a human child is born
height is the trigger for my phobia panic attack
Yeast triggers bread into rising
my dogs barking triggers me into action of taking them out to do their business.
the word trigger in the broadest definition is the building blocks for life, how we live and what we do with our lives. anther way of looking at the word trigger in the broad scheme of things is.... cause and affect.
