Do you ever find yourself acting like a bratty kid, blaming other people for how you feel and wondering why? It’s possible you’re experiencing an emotional trigger. It’s natural to shrink from feeling the shame, fear, or anger that comes with being triggered, but there is a path to freedom! Amrita's website: https://sacredfeminineschool.com/
The Step by Step Process:
Stop and breathe
Resist distractions that will take away the pain (alcohol, TV, etc)
Turn your attention inward (not outward toward the source of the trigger)
Slow things down Initiate self-care
Decide to move toward the discomfort
Get curious
Feel your feet, move your hips, bring it down into your body
Remind yourself that this is yours, not caused by anything around you
Take more deep breaths Move the energy (SAFELY) if you can: Scream into a pillow, pound on a soft piece of furniture, make primal sounds: wail, growl, etc., have a tantrum on the floor with pillows under your fists, shake out body parts or your whole body
