Triggers

An example may make it easier to understand triggers. A middle-age woman came to us from Kuwait. Her life during the Iraqi invasion changed overnight from one of safety to one of fear. As we got to know her better, she told us that her creates fear was of seeing a child's balloon.

She was suffering from trauma brought on my the enemy occupation of her country. Men were told not to go outside their homes wearing beards. One of her neighbors was caught and shot several times with pistols. Then his body was hung underneath a neaby bridge for all to see.

Her own husband, a devout moslem refused to give in to the edict. More neigbors were killed for not complying with new rules designed to subjugate the Kuwaiti locals. The fear of losing her husband and protection brought about emotional and physiological changes in Fatima's (not her real name) life.

When she came to us she confided to me that the thing she feared most was a child's balloon. "I don't know when it will burst" she said. " And it sounds just like the shots that I heard as I saw my friends killed."

Simple Definition of a Trigger

A trigger is any smell, sound, sight, feeling, taste or other sensation that is coupled or connected to a memory. Triggers are not all bad. The smell of fresh-baked cinnamon buns evokes pleasant memories for most of us.

What triggers do you think you might have? What happens when the bank statement is less than the bills you have to pay? How about when you hear certain words spoken un-kindly?
