Triggers and How They Affect Us Years After
Personal healing is a transformative journey, often accompanied by moments of unexpected triggers that resurface from the past. These triggers can disrupt our progress and challenge the idea of a linear transition from our old selves to our new selves. It is crucial to recognize that healing is not an event but rather a marathon, where we encounter instances of regression.
