This is such a beautifully articulated piece. Thank you for putting this into words.
The reminder that “to heal, we must feel” really landed for me. It’s something I’ve also explored in my own work, especially how triggers aren’t enemies to avoid, but doorways into deeper self-understanding.
I especially loved your line: “Triggers must be owned and taken responsibility for, because they are felt in our body, hence they are ours.” That’s such a compassionate reframe. Realizing this was a big turning point for me and learning to return to the safe present moment again and again, I noticed I wasn’t triggered as easily anymore. Because my nervous system could handle it.
Thank you again for your clarity and care in this piece.
Hi Anouk. Wonderful reflections from you, I am so glad the article spoke to you. Yes, when we own our reactions to what we experience, we also give ourselves the choice to respond. Lots of love, A
