When we’re in a relationship and we are triggered it can cause us to get angry, raise our voice, feel scared, or even want to run. When another person triggers us, it can feel overwhelming and extremely stressful. What if we were able to take this extremely stressful situation and take some of the stress out of it and learn something about ourselves in the process? Instead of fearing the trigger what if we shifted our thought process to begin to see this as a learning tool and to some degree beneficial in our growth?
What if we could actually learn something from our triggers, and therefore they became opportunities instead of pain points? These opportunities can lead us to creating more self-understanding that can illuminate our core wounds and core beliefs. Usually the people we’re in the closest of relationships with can trigger us the most.
Some questions to ask yourself before engaging in the argument would be; why do I need to prove my value to this person, what is it within me that makes me get triggered to do so, and when my energy is being taken away like this why would I give someone else my supply?
Watch this video to learn how to start turning triggers into opportunities and take the pain out of it! Once we learn the connection to why it upsets us or triggers us we can work to deal with it, understand it, and let it go.
