Changing Your Trigger Responses

Here are some ways to cope with and heal trauma, by rewiring your brain through behavioral modification. When you’re feeling triggered take a moment and choose to respond differently. Habits are built in 21 consecutive days, eventually you won’t think about it, automatically handling overwhelming situations better. Remember baby steps are everything. Focus on progress over perfection and celebrate even minuscule milestones. Via: Dr.GillianOSheaBrown
