There's a difference between getting triggered and being retraumatized.
Getting triggered is going to happen. I have absolutely been extremely triggered in therapy to the point of leaving suicidal -- but retraumatization is different. I was re-traumatized by a therapist who put his emotional needs on me. Who put me through the "child as a parent" role all over again and then abandoned me. That is retraumatizing.
