Triggers – Episode 92

Do words and events throw you into your past? Do you get angry when it's inappropriate? What are triggers and how do they affect us? Spencer and Akilah talk about our experience of triggers and how the 12 steps have lessened their impact on our lives. We had a few basic questions to guide our conversation: What does “trigger” mean to you? What triggers have you recognized in yourself? How do you react to these triggers? How has the program helped you to reduce or eliminate your triggers? Taking an inventory? Finding acceptance? Making amends? Trusting in my Higher Power? Harriet and Julia also shared some of their experience with being triggered by voice mail and email.
