Ever been triggered… and realised it was a gift?
Most of us see triggers as bad. Something happens, we feel upset, and we just want it to stop. But the truth is, triggers are powerful teachers if we’re willing to listen.
A trigger shows us where we still have work to do. It shines a light on the places inside us that need healing, balance, or compassion.
This happened to me recently during a week of training. I was fully engaged and learning so much, then something landed and I felt completely triggered. My body went into reaction and I couldn’t think straight.
In the past, I would have pushed through, ignored how I felt, or maybe even shut down completely. This time I did something different. I took a 90-minute break, got my body back into balance, and then rejoined the training refreshed. Instead of being derailed, I was able to face the issue with new energy and perspective.
That moment taught me how far I’ve come. I can now recognise when I’m triggered, step away, and come back stronger. It was a reminder that triggers don’t have to control me, they can guide me to grow.
What’s one trigger that has taught you something valuable?
