What happens when you embrace your triggers?

As survivors of abuse we often have many things that can trigger a reaction, some of them that we aren't even aware of.

The first step in embracing our triggers is to recognize what they are.

Then we can understand why they are triggering us and acknowledge what that came from.

That helps us to embrace why we have triggers and how they were a part of how we survived and how that was important to us then.

Once you recognize your triggers and understand why you have them you can begin to learn how to react to them differently so they don't control your behavior.

So by embracing your triggers you can regain control over how you react to them.
