Understanding your triggers and learning how to respond to them is a critical part of narcissistic abuse recovery. It’s a core component of trauma work.

Triggers can make you feel crazy and out of control. But you’re not. You are having a reaction that is causing your body to get stuck in fight, flight, or freeze. Learn how to understand your reactions and what to do about them going forward.
