Great post Tanja and important as well. Loved the photo also and the poem. As I read your post, I was reminded that triggers are sometimes hard to recognize. For ourselves, we find ourselves caught up in an emotion that is often out of character, and we react before we can recognize what has happened. Then on the other side - when we trigger someone else and it is a shock to find ourselves in an intense situation where we try to defend ourselves. I have understood that knowing how to recognize and respond in these situations is quite difficult. Any tips would be helpful.
Thank you, Reuben, I am always grateful for your feedback. I agree, often our triggers or how we trigger others can be challenging to spot. I truly believe that knowing oneself and developing a better sense of self-awareness is key. What helped me is the Enneagram and working with it. It’s a great place to start.
