In this video, we dive into the concept of *emotional triggers*—specific situations, words, or people that can provoke strong emotional reactions. Understanding your triggers is key to managing your mood and relationships. We start by distinguishing between general emotional triggers and specific "emotional buttons" that can cause intense responses. To help identify your triggers, we suggest keeping a *trigger journal* to track upsetting moments and uncover patterns. Often, these triggers are connected to unresolved past experiences, and exploring these connections can help in understanding the deeper emotions behind them. If you notice multiple triggers, it might indicate a deeper, potentially traumatic issue worth exploring with a therapist. The video provides actionable strategies for managing triggers, including building coping skills, like deep breathing and grounding exercises, and communicating your needs to others. Creating a personalized *trigger plan* with coping methods and a support system can help you feel prepared and in control. By the end of the video, you’ll have practical steps to better understand your triggers, develop healthy coping skills, and improve your emotional well-being.
