A trigger is an "event" that can bring back bad memories, which usually result in stress, anxiety, or even panic attacks. For example, if you or someone you knew was in a really bad car accident, and it traumatized you, then seeing a car accident (real or on TV) or talking about car accidents with another person could be a trigger.

Triggers are something that makes you feel very uncomfortable and can possibly bring back some memories of a traumatic experience or time in your life. They can be just about anything, and are completely normal.

Triggers are things that happen or things we experience that usually result in an emotional or stressful reaction. For example, someone who has an eating disorder may be triggered by a conversation based around foods. It relates to what they are struggling with and maybe reminds them of a bad experience or reawaken their anxiety or fear.

Triggers are something that lead you to feel emotional distress. I think everyone has triggers, you just don’t always tend to notice them. Some people are triggered about particular topics of conversation. Some triggers are situations. Try and think about what often makes you feel the emotions you feel, and consider that as a possible trigger.

Triggers are objects, places ,people -who take you back into a particular memory which, therefore leads to a particular kind of reaction .Usually these reactions are anxiety and panic. For example, if seeing any one particular object- perhaps a ball-gives you fright makes you really scared and panicky- that is what triggers your panic attacks.

Trigger is sudden physical and emotional response to some situation. Trigger is a great tool to understand your past where this trigger was created. Best method to deal with it is to use it to track down the origin of emotion. Work with the trigger and you can release yourself from lots of pain. =)
