The Gift of Being Triggered

Thank you, dear friend, for being you in front of me. So fully that it stirred something hidden inside of me to the surface.

I got triggered. And the trigger is mine. It is a sacred message from my subconscious, A thread of awareness leading me toward a part of myself that is ready — Ready to be loved, Ready to be free.

It is not your fault that I am triggered. Please, don't take it personally.

I take ownership of my reaction. And if, at some point, there is something we need to share or discuss between us, I would like to meet you in that conversation — when you are ready and available.

To me, the gift of being triggered is not about blame. It is about awakening. It is about noticing the old patterns that no longer fit the person I am becoming. It is about choosing to speak up, To ask for what I need, To tend the tender places within me — rather than reenacting old stories.

This week, the gift has been awareness: The awareness that I have a choice. The awareness that I can respond differently. The awareness that I am not bound to repeat the old ways I inherited.

Being triggered is not a problem. It is a doorway. It is a moment when the light finds the crack in the wall. And through that crack, something new can be born.

"When was the last time a trigger showed you something sacred about yourself?"
