Being Triggered Part Two on this journey of Triggers. How my Environment triggers me.

Part one we focused on the internal or intrinsic triggers.
Part two focuses on Extrinsic or external triggers.

Triggered from the outside lately?

Read something in the media, a court case and gone WTF? Tempted to jump on social media and post something reactive? A violent response? Boom... You're triggered externally.

Maybe something else triggers you. A certain sound, smell or even colour. A sensation maybe.

DV victims are often triggered by screaming as that invokes survival mode. Rape victims can be of touch or the sound and pitch of a certain voice.

My triggers were screaming cattle and puppies as I lived two separate experiences in this.

I sat down with Brisbanes Top Criminal Psychologists for a mentoring session in picking the brains of two experts on both Part one and Part 2 of these episodes. I wanted to dive deep on this topic. These two experts helped me forge my current path of Uni and my own obsession with trauma, motives and studying human behaviour.

"Humans and animals are wonderful experiments happening in the current moment of time".

Grab something to take notes for this one as I extract wisdom from experts.
