Part of recovery from any trauma involves learning what your emotional triggers are.
If you’ve done any work with this, you might already know some seemingly harmless occurrences that ravage you psychologically, but have you kept track of the triggers that lift you up?
I’m not talking about the things that soothe to your detriment like therapy shopping using already burdened credit or comfort foods that are going to wreck your health while providing a temporary escape.
I’ll say upfront that the emotional triggers meant to provide you with a lift, won’t work in the exact same way that traumatic triggers do.
They won’t be quite as powerful or act as instantaneously, but using them, can be an effective way to deal with everyday problems and other frustrations without behaving in a manner that will cost you further in the long run.
