A known feeling to us all is irritation or disappointment with someone or something who does not reflect the qualities we wish to see in them or fails to live up to our expectations. This triggering sensation affects us only when our assumptions conflict with the actual reality we observe. If we were to maintain no individual boundaries and set no expectations, there would be no way for anyone to aggravate us with their behaviour, but avoidance is never the optimal solution.
At the core of a trigger is a dissociation between the receiver and the source that sets them off. Considering the polar opposite of the trigger reveals the stimulus within the person that experiences it. For instance, if one is provoked by laziness, they may be compulsively action-driven and unsettled within; if one is triggered by clinginess, they may be distancing themselves from an intimate connection with themselves; and if one is annoyed with other’s emotional responses, they may be subjecting themselves to desensitized state.
We can't run away from the source of a trigger; it will keep finding us. We must accept the part of us that creates that negative response.
By recognizing the cause of our inner conflict, we can bridge the extremes that trigger us and become One with the emotions on either side. Relating to the individual who causes our irritation frees us from the need to change them or remain resistant to their unwanted behavior. Our own harmonizing energy is the key to healing emotional ups and downs and mirroring resolution in our trigger-filled world.
