This is so important to remember because it can be hard being surrounded by people who don't understand this. And also, keep in mind that it is OUR job to work at protecting ourselves from being triggered. The people around us are not going to take responsibility for our triggers, issues or feelings. WE are responsible for our shit and they are responsible for theirs. Put in the work, heal.. and remember to be gentle with yourself 🫶#traumaresponse#fightorflight#triggers#wisdomoftheday
