Defining and working with our triggers

Defining and working with our triggers

Because of the trauma that survivors and lived experience experts may face, triggers can happen when doing this work. Triggers can also arise for anyone working in this field as they aren’t just associated with childhood sexual violence.

It’s helpful if we all understand our triggers, how we can work to avoid them, and what to do when they arise. If we choose not to address them, it is likely you’ll end up feeling worse.
