Causes And Consequences Of Emotional Triggers

from my past that was being triggered by attuning and caring for my traumatized children. I had

Our parents raise us hoping for us to develop certain character traits, but there comes to a point when we start to become our own person based on the experiences we go through, any situation, good or bad, can influence our personality mentally and emotionally. Emotion is what makes us human, it's how we cope and how we manage our crazy lives’. When our feelings get damaged or even nourished, it will change how we react

This theme is relevant to today because there are so may internal problems so easily shown today like depression, anxiety, and things like mental illnesses because they have now become more common and more understandable to one’s self. This theme is also very relevant to teenagers because a lot of people think that they are just doing things because they feel this or that but don’t actually take in how much the tiny things and big things still have an effect on people. Teenagers do have more hormones and most of the time stress causes overthinking in all ages so that contributes to their conflicts more therefore the way they are feeling and what’s going around them most certainly effects them and can cause bigger affects then more people realize. When someone is put down a certain word or a certain phrase can become a trigger or if they are feeling some way and something even slight happens to them they can develop a trigger. I personally have seen how triggered affect people and it’s not always great. During a trigger, some people go into panic and they feel like they can barely breathe. It’s hard to calm them down once they are at a certain point; people don’t really think about the effects of things when they are mad or angry and let something slide that they didn’t mean to. iIt’s hard for teens now a days to understand that because understanding takes time. You don’t just

It is impossible to predict what may trigger any painful memories for the student as memories can be triggered by anything that is feasibly detected by any of the five senses. This makes it difficult for professors to know when it would be appropriate to have a trigger warning for upcoming assignments. With trigger warning policies in place, forgetting to place or misplacing a trigger warning would leave professors open to complaints from both trauma victims and students who claim to be offended by content simply to get out of completing the coursework, creating an unnecessary hassle for both parties involved (7 Humanities Professors 2014). The unpredictability of what may cause a trigger response leaves no room for error on the professor’s part to decide when and where to place trigger warnings.

Trigger warning have recently become common. A trigger warning are responses people have in regards to places, events, and content that provokes an emotional reaction. However, it has created a big issue for everyday life as it has caused restrictions on certain things. Some individuals use it as an excuse to avoid material being learned.

This is prevalent in online writing communities such as Archive of our Own, Fanfiction.net and Tumblr. Trigger warnings even though they are often times extremely excessive are understandable. Especially given the fact that most of the stories on these sites are being written by people who have grown up in an era of political correctness. However, the demand for “trigger warnings” do not stop there. They want classics to have trigger warnings added to them, so that people who have had bad experiences with sexual assault, violence, racism, etc. can be warned if the book contains anything that may cause them to relive the event. This is understandable, but where do the trigger warnings begin and end. In many of the warning that are posted on the online sites like Archive of our Own, writers warn of pairing, people being happy, and other things that many people would see as completely inoffensive. On Tumblr there was once an article or discussion about triggers where someone said that roses triggered them. Now how does a book warn for triggers like

Another trigger that I have is over reacting when I feel I have been treated

Many things trigger symptoms for those who are affected by PTSD. Dr. Tull, a professor of Anxiety Disorders Research in the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior and he explains the internal triggers that cause a person to experience PTSD. Internal triggers are created in your body by what you feel or experience. They include emotions, bodily sensations, and memories or thoughts. Internal triggers also include sadness, anger, memories, and anxiety. People with PTSD can often experience internal triggers from their past trauma event that causes horrible anxiety.

The myths and fables we are using is The Swollen Fox, The Hen and the Golden Egg, and Every Hero a child should know Perseus.There are many type of triggers.

Now, an additional question presents itself: Why are we so triggered? After all, this hypersensitivity

I understand how and why one would you it, but I still cannot wrap my head around how one exactly goes about associating an object with an immediate emotional response; but I suppose that must take a great deal of time and practice. During the exercise today, as I was recalling my significant emotional event, I definitely feel that imagining the senses from that moment elicited some emotional response from me, but it was not the kind that I had anticipated having. I wanted a more sad emotional response, but instead I became more anxious and uncomfortable. I also felt that I was not as visibly expressive with my emotion as some of my other peers. Perhaps, I have suppressed this particular emotional event too much, and next time should focus on an event that I have processed

People have expectancies of how others should or should not react to certain situations. If their preconceived idea of how the other individual should act or react is altered then they are usually surprised, which may be seen through arousal. Basically, people have preconceived notions of

One trigger that would lead me to emotional hijacking is when an employee walks into the office and does not speak. I was taught to speak when I am the last person to walk into a room of people. I think it is very rude and disrespectful when someone comes into a building or room and does not speak. When someone comes into a room and not speak, instead of saying something that is unprofessional, I will just continue to keep doing what I was doing and say a prayer under my breath.
