hi i have a question. if something is triggering you again and again and again, like it’s the same situation repeatedly and you find yourself reacting badly to it even though you don’t want to, are you supposed to remove the trigger from your life or keep trying to find ways to get over it? yes, i realize this is really vague, but maybe it will resonate with someone who has an answer

People say remove the trigger but in many cases this may not be realistic. So you must expose yourself to it such that you are able to get over it. Otherwise you will always be wary of having that trigger re-enter your life unexpectedly, and that’s an additional burden. Healing from triggers through exposure is healthy.

every negative emotional response is a reaction to a negative corresponding belief. so a trigger like this could be from a belief that you’re unworthy, unsafe, unwanted, etc that is activated by a certain type of situation if you can find the negative belief(s) and choose positive ones *that make sense* to replace them with, the pain disappears when i’m triggered i set the intention to shift all relevant beliefs into positive ones, then often use emdr or chatgpt to process any associated trauma and reframe it in a positive or neutral way once this is done effectively the trigger no longer exists i end up with new beliefs like… “i’m safe now, and can trust myself to keep it that way” “everyone is just doing their best” “how they treated me was not about me” “it’s safe to put my needs first” “i get to live my life how i want” remember that no matter how real it feels, the pain of the belief is a sign of how untrue it is. your entire being is trying to reject it ♥️

whatever happens to us, we always go through the same chain of realisation thought->emotion->action if you wanna change something, you have to work not with emotions, but with automatic thoughts. BUT it really depends on situation, bc often our perception is skewed

« What are the things you let live in your mind without paying rent? » Here’s a phrase I find pretty comforting—I’m not sure if it applies to your situation.

I feel that these triggers are not something to be removed, but to be owned and studied in some way, and I will have to work on them all my life. I keep getting myself into same situations, people always do certain things to me, I act wild in response or I try my best to protect myself from such situations but still feel bad in the end. The worst thing is that it’s hard to explain or stop in the moment. But lately I started to see these patterns of mine, and not so long ago I managed to to turn from it once:) I know it’s constant work anyway

agree with everyone's take here, even though they're all different! one thing that hasn't been said (idt) is: if the trigger is causing you so much anxiety that you can't get in a stable headspace to actually process the underlying emotions causing the trigger, you gotta remove it to allow yourself some time to breathe and find a grounding thought/object/place before you try to tackle exposing yourself to the trigger again

If it’s personal relationship that’s very valuable to me I’ll try to understand why this thing triggers me and how to change my reaction. Maybe by talking about this situation with someone who causes it, if possible If it’s something that can be removed from my life relatively easily - and it won’t affect my life , I’d remove it, but usually it’s not possible. So I just focus my attention elsewhere so that the trigger will become smaller and disappear eventually

Both are legitimate options but without knowing more details it’s hard to say. One thing is for sure though, no one should even be able to trigger you like this. So I recommend from my own experience to explore the trigger and where it is coming from to eventually get rid of the possibility to be triggered. It’s hard work though 🤪

You’re supposed to remove yourself from the situation my issue, though is I become more enslaved to my own idiosyncrasies and inability to even support the move and then go in a vicious circle of a downward spiral. In those cases it’s finding ways of removing yourself somehow mentally, and work on walking away when those situations arise and hope with those small changes, it can create a larger shift. And here I am with tears coming from my eyes all I’m saying this right now. Mind you this is dictated to my phone. I tried to do a curse review hopefully this makes sense and resonates with you.

I am someone who loves to remove the trigger from his life. But to remove it imo you have to first understand where it comes from because sometimes what triggers us is not necessarily something that we want to be removed from our lives. It may be something that can be solved, that may help us grow. So imo only after understanding what triggers us we can decide whether we want it to be removed, get over it, or be at peace with it!🌹

I am a supporter of removing triggers even if it’s really hard to do. I don’t have regrets about it

What’s helped me is learning to live with the trigger. Instead of trying to get over it or around it, I just go through it. Triggers are soooo uncomfortable – getting used to that discomfort is what’s helped me the most 🥹

I tried to remove the trigger but that only worked for awhile, once trigger came back emotions came back. What helped me is to look at situation from other angle, outside of myself and my emotions. Like you are looking at your best friend and finding core of this trigger and then giving advice to that friend. If same trigger keeps showing up its a sign from Universe showing you that you have to resolve this to be able to ascend to the next level or achieve your desired reality. This eclipse was meant to show us triggers so if you had some come up for you its because you should let them go.

u have to understand why is it a trigger. that’s the most important and after that remove it. But first really understand why this particular thing, or person triggers you so much!
