Instructions: Take a few moments to identify three triggers that you commonly encounter. For each trigger, answer the following
questions to understand better why it affects you and how you can stay in control when confronted by it
Why does this trigger you? - Think about what specifically triggers you. Is it a specific behavior, situation, or person? Reflect
on your past experiences and identify any patterns or themes that emerge
What is your reaction to your trigger? - How do you typically respond when confronted by your trigger? Do you feel angry,
anxious, or frustrated? Do you lash out or shut down? Understanding your immediate reaction can help you prepare to respond
differently in the future
What do you need to remind yourself to stay in control when confronted by your triggers? - Based on your reflections,
consider what strategies might help you stay in control when faced with your triggers. Do you need to take deep breaths, count
to ten, or remind yourself of a mantra? Write down a few reminders or coping strategies you can turn to now.
