What is a trigger? What is triggering you emotionally – something that somebody says or does that makes you angry, aggressive, sad or even panicking? At your workplace, in your family, in your network of friends or even just by walking around in the city?
What can you do when you recognize that you got triggered and you are close to overreact or have done already?
First: be proud of yourself that you are already reflecting your own behaviour in such a way! How many people get triggered and just let out their aggressiveness without questioning it?!
Here are the 5 steps that I explain in detail in this episode how you can handle it when you get triggered:
Recognize your emotions and thoughts
Ask yourself: Why are you reacting like this? Does this remind you of something?
Zoom out! How would a neutral person assess this situation?
Conclude: Is it a personal trigger or something you really have to set boundaries against it?
Decide on your next action: Do you want to talk to a neutral person about it or even give the person, who has triggered you, a feedback?
