I've learned a couple of useful things since joining PC. First, for some reason i had never heard of a 'mixed state' before... that was a personal revelation.

I have also become more aware of the fact that I'm routinely getting triggered by events in life and certain situations or thoughts I have about them if I focus on the triggering item. I've got triggers for anger, for irritation, for annoyance, for fear... etc.

The first step for me is just to say yes I am being triggered now. what is the second and third steps. How do you deal with triggers?
