Are you aware of your triggers? Are they basically always the same? Are you aware you are about to be triggered and able to avoid it? That would be ideal!

For me, I have the same basic triggers, only a few things that really cause me a trauma reaction. They are only from a couple people closest to me. An acquaintance may say or do something very upsetting, and I may get upset, but I wouldn’t call it a trauma reaction and I can just let it go and may not like them anymore. It’s the closest to me who really push my buttons. I don’t know if it is those people who press those buttons, and say, if I replaced them with new people close to me who were not the kinds of people who would do those same button-pressing behaviors and I would not be triggered at all. Is it possible for me to avoid being triggered? If so, that would change my life for the better 100%
