What to Do When You’re Triggered in the Moment
Real time regulation tools
When you are triggered, you do not need insight. You need support.
In the moment, focus on what brings your body back into the present. Press your feet into the ground. Name objects around you. Change temperature. Slow your exhale.
Avoid analyzing why you are triggered while you are still activated. That comes later.
Regulation first. Reflection second.
You are not failing if you need time to settle. You are responding wisely to your nervous system.
