Major life unlock: Your triggers are your teachers.
What makes you angry shows what you value. What makes you sad shows what you’ve lost. What scares you shows you where growth lives.
Most people avoid triggers. Winners study them.

I’ve worked with a therapist for a while now, and my triggers are inevitably rooted in early childhood/youth. My favourite therapist says that what you acknowledge, you can feel. And what you feel, you can heal. Resolving old grievances is really quite freeing. For example, I used to get my back up when someone questioned what I was doing and how I was doing it. I felt my intelligence and capability were being insulted. Now, I tend to be curious and ask for more information. I’ve ended up learning a lot, and I connect more deeply with others, including my spouse. Just sayin’ ;) Hugs and good luck. XO
