Lesson Overview

9.37 – How to Discuss Triggers Without Causing Reinjury: Triggers reopen old pain, and discussing them requires careful pacing. The goal is understanding, not reliving. Calm tone, gentle timing, and mutual respect keep conversations safe. Partners must remember that triggers are emotional echoes, not accusations. Naming them out loud reduces their power, but only when done with empathy. Discussing triggers should feel collaborative—two people studying history to prevent repetition. When handled thoughtfully, these talks deepen intimacy by transforming fear into knowledge. Reinjury fades when empathy replaces defensiveness.
