Understanding Emotional Triggers: Our Feelings Have Power
Are you aware of your emotional triggers? I’m a person in long-term recovery. I practice emotional sobriety. I work with sponsors in two 12-step programs to help me get along peacefully with other people and the world. I still made someone cry this past week. It was not intentional and I felt terrible. I’m not a sociopath for heaven’s sake! I was accused of doing something I didn’t do and at a very stressful moment. I didn’t take it well. When I discussed this with a mentor later that day, I saw I had been triggered and I overreacted. The point is, it doesn’t matter how serene we are or how long we have in recovery, our emotional triggers have power and can still dominate at a moment’s notice.
