Sometimes a trigger takes time to identify. Because so much trauma happened right here on my farm I was being triggered all the time. I did not understand it at all back then. It took me time to figure out what locations were the worst. I think it's the worst living right where a trauma took place.
I think it's just important to do a lot of self talk, never allow yourself to do any self blaming when you struggle. Make it a point to do whatever makes you feel safe and keeping one's self busy is good too. Keep a journal so when you get triggered you can write down whatever you were doing that day and maybe see if you can figure out what triggered you. Give it time. Patience with self is so important.
