What to Do When You’re Triggered:
A Toolkit for Reconnection & Self-Regulation
We all have moments when something someone says or does sets off an instant reaction inside us.
I know this feeling well—one moment, I’m present, and the next, it’s like something hijacks my body. My chest tightens, my mind starts racing, and before I know it, I’m either shutting down or saying something I don’t mean.
This is what it means to be triggered. It’s not a flaw, and it’s not proof that one of you is right and the other is wrong. It’s simply your nervous system reacting to something that feels unsafe or uncertain in some way.
