Just thought I'd let you know that I have unwittingly gone through most of the steps outlined to overcome at least one source of triggering for me. I've got three more steps... well, not complete steps, because again, I knew that I had to do one of them, 6. Forgive others and yourself, before I could finally be free so I've been working on it. The two steps remaining are;

7. Plan your most powerful future.
8. Take positive action. Change does not come without action.

My most powerful future right now, is to not be triggered by what my ex or his wife say or think about me. That also involves the same behavior in others, whether they know my triggers or not. The grounding techniques posted as a sticky on this forum can work wonders!

So far, I'm not sure of what action to take, but I've gone through the first five steps so quickly that I'm going to allow myself time on the last one.

TRIGGER - MUFFY, I understand the terrible trigger left by being present at your parents' passing. Nursing my mother through her strokes and sitting with her as she slowly passed on left a huge trigger with me. As a result, I don't visit people in hospitals. Maybe one of these days I'll make a visit to a convalescent home just to see what happens. I used to make these visits before my mom became ill. I tried it once after her passing and never did it again.
