Most of us intentionally do not want to hurt others or ourselves when we’re triggered. If we do, we feel guilty and commit to never do that again. The problem is, some of us don’t have the tools to follow through on that commitment, (even though we wish we did) and so the cycle continues:
Something happens, we get triggered (angry, shut down, run away, people-please) and we do something in a split second to cope.
Changing our response to events and staying in control in that nanosecond … is where immeasurable freedom lies.
