When something triggers us, it can be distressing and uncomfortable.
However if we can remain connected with ourselves and our intention to heal, we can use it to help us know where we are holding past pain, and where we can bring consciousness and turn pain into understanding.
A trigger usually indicates a past version of ourselves holding something unheard, unresolved and needing loving attention.
Whether we might receive being heard by another or not is secondary to hearing our own heart first.
