I am not affected in the same way I once had been; I&#8217;ve learned to handle most my triggers. \u00a0Most of the time now, although I have a quick response to triggers, \u00a0the anxious feeling subsides almost as fast as it appears.<\/p>\n<p>Realistically, there are some triggers that can cause me grief at times. I try my best to stay on the side of reality. I know that triggers come from my past and don&#8217;t belong in my present life.<\/p>\n<p>What can be trigger for me? \u00a0To name a few: if I should witness someone being degraded or treated in an inappropriate way, that can be a trigger; when I feel threatened or the subject of disrespect, unpleasant feelings can trigger a response in me, being stressed can cause a trigger, and someone screaming loudly can trigger an affect in me. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There is no way to predict a trigger ahead of time, so when it happens, I just try my best to deal with it.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your questions.<\/p>\n<p>Karen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by Jillian on February 9, 2009 3:18 am Karen, What type of things trigger you? \u00a0In the show USOTARA I didn\u02bct notice anything major when her alters change.
