Do you ever feel like your emotions are on a roller coaster ride that you didn\u2019t sign up for? One minute you\u2019re cruising through your day, and the next you\u2019re triggered by something that sends you spiraling.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Emotional triggers are those pesky things that can derail us in a heartbeat. But there are ways to keep them in line. Here\u2019s what you need to know:<\/p>\n

No one deserves our emotional outbursts. But as you get better at knowing how to handle your triggers, there\u2019s so much more happiness waiting on the other side.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What Are Emotional Triggers?<\/h2>\n

A trigger is something that sparks an emotional response. Simply put, it\u2019s \u201ca throwback to an archaic trauma that feels like it\u2019s happening in the present,\u201d<\/em> Rhea Lalla<\/strong>, conscious parenting and relationship coach, explains on The Mindvalley Show<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When someone cuts in front of you without so much as an apology, you may react in rage. Or when your child is crying, you may angrily tell them to \u201cstop being a baby<\/em>.\u201d Or when your coworker can\u2019t stop yapping while you\u2019re on a deadline, you may go all \u201cKaren\u201d on them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

These are all examples of emotional triggers. And the unfortunate thing is, they all come with dire consequences.<\/p>\n

Where Do They Come From?<\/h2>\n

Emotional triggers are like little landmines that we\u2019re often unaware of until they explode in our faces. But why do they happen, and what impact do they have on us?<\/p>\n

Generally speaking, they can be caused by anything from past traumas to present stressors. They can take many different forms, including words, actions, or even smells. When triggered, we may experience different types of emotions<\/a>, from anger to sadness to fear.<\/p>\n

And studies<\/a> say it too: when a traumatic or disturbing event occurs in our lives, our psyche gets triggered by certain external stimuli. Further on in life, an outside \u201cstressor\u201d that may resemble a moment of trauma from the past can activate parts of our mind that haven\u2019t been healed.<\/p>\n
