Our Protector has a temper. She's triggered when my mother (our abuser) upsets me. She usually takes control when memories surface, either because someone on the inside (our negative alter) has spitefully shared a memory she shouldn't have. And if something triggers us from the outside.

Our Angry one is triggered by any mention of abused women, children and animals. This can be in the form of the news on tv or radio, or in TV programmes. It's one of the reasons I had to stop watching CSI. It's easy to control what we see on TV. We usually stick to cartoons. The radio part is difficult, because we travel in a liftclub, and the news is on morning and afternoon.

Our littles are triggered by: colouring books, crayons, cartoons, puppies, horses. They don't come out often, but they tend to want to converse when I see the things I've mentioned.

Hope this helps.
