There are times when the smallest things trigger emotions within that cause a physical reaction. Sometimes its an upset stomach, racing heartbeat or a wave of nausea that won’t let up. All of these reactions come from outward stimuli of people triggering past trauma in my life that I thought was healed.

Will it ever go away… Maybe or may be not in entirety.

What I have learned is that instead of trying to avoid those feelings, is to let myself feel them and work through them until they pass. They come back at some point, but continuing to use positive coping mechanisms helps to alleviate the severity of that pain.

Another way to heal, is to remove the people in your life that know they are triggering you with their behaviors. Those individuals do not care about you and your healing. If they did, once made aware that certain behaviors were triggering you, they would cease to engage in those behaviors.

I find myself too forgiving. I have repeatedly forgiven those that have dileberately hurt me. This is something I need not do again, ever.
