Something occurred to me today - I realized that in all the years of seeing my psychiatrist after my divorce, losing my son, etc. I've never been able to address/resolve my various traumas themselves, but I had a thought... Maybe the best 1st step for me (since any progress is better than none) would be to at least try to recognize when I'm feeling triggered, and try to pause my "knee-jerk" reaction & just sit with the feeling until rational thought returns. At very least, if I can stop that initial response, I can limit the damage I end up doing to myself/others in my life.
Because you've got to start somewhere, right?
