This is the first of a series I will be doing on the concept of triggers.

Some clarifications up front:

*Feeling the charge" of childhood takes time and is best done in safety with a therapist or support group. If feeling the emotions from
childhood is overwhelming or if you don't know what they are (both common) perhaps seek time with a skilled therapist.

*Some example triggers.
Feeling left out.
Other people's upset.
Feeling like other's are insensitive / oblivious.
Not feeling seen or efforts noticed.
Mistakes.
Confusing assertion with "being mean."
Situations that involve fairness.

Hope the video is helpful!
