In this follow-up video How To Deal With Your Triggers: A Guide to Healthy Coping, I explain the concept of triggers and offer practical strategies for managing them effectively. We go over details on how triggers, which are stimuli that remind us of past traumas or negative experiences, activate our body’s fight or flight response. I provide actionable advice on recognizing triggers and replacing negative reactions with positive actions such as deep breathing, grounding techniques, and self-compassion. I emphasize the importance of seeking professional help and therapies like CBT, exposure therapy, and mindfulness practices for long-term improvement. The video also discusses healthy coping mechanisms like assertiveness training and progressive muscle relaxation. By understanding and addressing the underlying issues that cause triggers, you can regain control over your emotional responses and lead a more peaceful life.
