I'm "triggered" but am I triggered or am I just encountering an opinion I don't like? Analyze what "triggers" me and reality-check: is this a trauma trigger (activating past wound) or am I just upset someone disagrees? Map each "trigger" and expose the difference: triggered is a trauma response (dysregulation, flashback, fight/flight); disagreed with is just emotional reaction to opposing view. Show me where I'm using trigger language to avoid debate, shut down conversation, or make my discomfort everyone's responsibility. Reveal: you're not triggered, you just don't like what they said. Include: what I'm calling triggered that's just being challenged, whether I'm having a trauma response or just don't want to hear disagreement, and if I need safety or just need to build disagreement tolerance.
