Where Do You Go When You're Triggered?

Where do you go when you get triggered?

How do deep feelings show up in your life?

Do you get sad? Do you shut down and feel numb?

Do you feel rage in the depths of soul?

 Do you get scared or frightened?
Do you feel like you don’t belong and that nobody will ever understand?

Usually the way that it shows up today is exactly how it showed up when you were little.

Maybe you didn’t have the words or a safe place to express.

Maybe you were made wrong, or weak, or annoying for showing feelings the way you did.

Well, I am here to tell you, you weren’t wrong.

Your feelings are not wrong.

Your expression of feelings are built around the layers of trying to control, hid and shame away the feelings.

When we are allowed up to show up in a way that is fucking real, even if it’s messy, that is when we can start to feel safe.
