Description

A trigger is not just a strong reaction. It’s a sudden surge of emotion or physical response that seems disproportionate to the moment—but perfectly logical when you look at your past. Triggers often come from unresolved trauma. They are your nervous system sounding an alarm, not because you're weak, but because you’ve been through something that taught your body to brace for impact.

Triggers can be people, places, sounds, smells, tones of voice, or even innocent gestures that resemble a moment of past pain.
