Bring yourself back to the present
Madison talks about how, when we are triggered, we go back to the event that caused our trust issues – we aren’t in the present moment. That’s where the breathing comes in. “Once you are able to calm your body down, you can focus on the mind. It may be helpful to ground yourself in the present moment. Oftentimes, our triggers come from childhood or earlier experiences. It is helpful to ask yourself if what you are angry about is bringing up anything that you’ve felt in the past. Grounding can remind you that you are no longer in the previous relationships and that this is a new experience that doesn’t necessarily mean the same thing.”
