Why Am I So Triggered At This Time of Year?

12/20/2022

0 Comments

 
​This time of year is difficult for many, with added stresses, family dynamics that can be taxing, obligations, financial expectations, people’s moods are generally lower and many have less energy. Add on top of that the implications of not having a “typical” Christmas since 2019 with the last two years of covid shutdowns and restrictions; and you have the combination of the "perfect storm". With the right coping tools and understanding of your triggers you can make it out the other side stronger this holiday season. Here are four considerations to help you through:
Picture
  1. Grounding Is Your Best Friend: It is important you find what helps you to come back in the moment. For many it is tapping into their breath, and for others they need a little more support. Grounding usually involves engaging the senses, please see the attached sheet of grounding techniques for some ideas you can try.
  2. Take Care Of Yourself: When our self-care “cup” is more empty than full we run the risk of being triggered more easily. With all the obligations you feel this time of year, make sure you are doing something on a regular basis for yourself.
  3. Say No Not Yes: This is not the time of year to be a people pleaser. Saying yes when your intuition says no can be triggering as your “gut” instinct works hard to keep you safe. When it is ignored you have a higher chance of being triggered.
  4. Take Time Out: If you notice you have become triggered, do not be tempted to push through as the higher your emotional state the more intense someone can be triggered.

    I have been working with parents for over 10 years. I have learned a great deal from them as well as from parenting my own children. It has taught me that parenting is the most trying job there is, requires the support of a village, and with the right supports can be truly rewarding.
