Until it actually started happening I didn't believe it, but it is possible to make being triggered not so traumatic in certain ways. After years, about 7 - 10 years, of going through exercises and talking about being triggered and practicing getting through it, I was able to make getting through being triggered easier in a way. I'm not saying that its possible for everybody, my trigger episodes may not be as severe as others. I'm just saying that it did happen for me so it is possible. I had a great therapist who taught me grounding techniques that eventually could work. Personally, not that I think about, I think after going over my traumas again and again and again and talking so much out helped. Just my 2 cents...
