 Emotional triggers vary from to person.

They may include: unwanted memories, uncomfortable topics, or another person's actions or words.

​

Common situations that trigger and may increase the likelihood of intense emotions are:

Rejection, betrayal, challenged beliefs, helpless and hopelessness, criticism, insecurity, feeling unwanted or a loss of belonging.

​

Children and young adults who are already vulnerable are more likely to have difficulty when managing emotional triggers.

​

Counselling can help to uncover and manage these emotional triggers.
