Triggering occurs when any certain something (a “triggerâ€) causes a negative emotional response. You would know if you have one if a certain topic or situation causes you to feel sadness, panic or have flashbacks. You can also experience physical symptoms such as shaking and fatigue.

Triggers are any specific thing, person, or situation that "trigger" a reaction inside you. This could be good, or more often referred to as bad. This could be a crowded room, loud noises, or classrooms!

Triggers are certain topics that can make you find yourself feeling anxiety, depression, guilt or shame. They can be caused by topics that may have affected you one time or another throughout your life. Identifying your trigger(s) (If you have any) can be hard for some people, there's no knowing until you encounter those moments in life.

Triggers are situations, objects, memories (even scents and other senses' experiences) that make you feel a certain way. Usually, a trigger leads you to a negative emotion/feeling - (e.g.: the scent of spearmint makes you recall that time when you felt very nauseous, so whenever you feel that odour, you get nauseated or whenever you hear loud noises you get furious).

Triggers are things that cause you to have a negative reaction without necessarily having a cause. Like if you have a bad experience with something, seeing something that reminds you of the experience can really upset you even if it's not upsetting in itself.

A trigger can be a conscious or subconscious stimulus that gets "switched" when you encounter a sight, smell, taste, or feeling that reminds you of a trauma. Sometimes its something that happened before you developed memory, so it might be hard for you to realize this at this point. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy would be great to find those!

Triggers are emotional extreme points where a person doesn't know how to react and just panics and gets confused with everything.

A trigger can make you feel upset, overwhelmed, anxious or angry. It is something that may bring back horrible memories. It can be a simple word, a sound, a smell that could make you start overthinking and bring you back to a bad time, its trauma

Triggers are something that brings you to a very difficult stage in life. For example say if someone touched you in a way you didn’t want to when you were younger it would be a trigger.
