Coping Strategies for When You Feel Triggered

Shift your focus away from the situation and turn your attention inward.

Acknowledge and name the thoughts and feelings you are experiencing.

Pay attention to where you feel these emotions manifest in your body.

Observe your body's reactions, such as your heartbeat and any tension.

Offer yourself kind affirmations, like "I am safe" and "I am loved."

Support yourself through self-soothing techniques, such as deep breathing, grounding exercises, talking with a friend, or spending time in nature
