So, what’s triggering?

Triggering is a colloquial word for when a memory, an old emotion, or something stuck in our process—stuck in our experience—gets brought to the surface.

It can be triggered by an event, something we see on TV, or a song on the radio—it can be anything—even the temperature. Something activates the memory, and suddenly, we’re swamped with strong emotion, unsure of what’s going on.

We tend to relate to this negatively because what comes up—if it’s stuck—is, by definition, something difficult. In fact, it can be very intense and very painful.

But as we get more used to working with it—usually starting with a therapist to learn how—we can begin to recognise what’s happening and work with the material. 

The part of us that’s coming up is doing so for healing.

Over time, we can get more confident using those moments of being triggered to our advantage. They’re healing opportunities.
