Saw this on PC today. Thought it was a great, short read. https://pro.psychcentral.com/recover...ts-your-fault/
I have been trying to communicate for forever that triggers aren't just about regular emotions.
"What, exactly, are triggers? Triggers are those moments and circumstances in our lives that cause us to experience an emotional response that is not in line with the event that caused it."
I also liked this:
"Most of us assume that the trigger was caused by the perpetrator – the person who did whatever occurred that caused our negative feelings. The truth is, each one of us has triggers that originate within ourselves. Other people are not responsible for our trigger responses."
