You Don’t Have to Overcome Your Triggers
What if you stopped trying to “overcome” your triggers?
What if you simply acknowledged them?
We’ve all been there: triggered, overwhelmed, and unsure.
But the language we use around triggers often creates unnecessary pressure.
Our language implies there’s a “problem” we need to solve.
The real shift happens when you stop seeing triggers as problems to overcome.
When you start acknowledging them as part of your experience.
By accepting the trigger and understanding your reaction, you begin to remove the shame and guilt.
It's not about fixing yourself.
It's about acknowledging what you’ve been through and how it has shaped you.
When you accept the trigger, it stops being “your problem” snd it becomes something external to you.
Something you can navigate, not something that defines you.
Next time you’re triggered, pause and acknowledge it without judgment.
Recognise it for what it is: a natural response to past trauma.
Instead of fighting it, simply accept that it’s part of who you are and how you've learned to protect yourself.
Healing isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about learning to live with what you've experienced and finding compassion for the responses that have kept you safe.
Acceptance and awareness are the tools you need to stop feeling broken and start feeling whole.
How can you show yourself compassion the next time you’re triggered?
