Recognize and Ground Yourself after a Trigger

Triggers can evoke intense and unexpected reactions. A trigger can be any sensory reminder, and it's important to recognize when you are likely being triggered. Remind yourself that the pain you feel is connected to a past event, not the present moment. To ground yourself, try techniques like finger tapping, deep breathing, or reciting meaningful quotes to bring your focus back to the present.
