Stress Triggers
Our inherent nature is to explore, feel, learn and grow. However, during the early stages of life, our bodies capture experiences through our five physical senses. What we encounter during this time significantly influences our emotional well-being, establishing the foundation for the belief systems we carry throughout our lives. These belief systems can manifest as emotional burdens such as shame, guilt, doubt, trust issues, resentment, feelings of abandonment, unworthiness, or a sense of being left behind. So, how can you identify what you are holding onto?
Often, after a child turns six years old, their brain wave frequencies begin to align with those of an adult. The emotional burdens placed on a child within their first six years will start to reflect what they experienced during that time.
A parent's reactions are shaped by their own belief systems, which they then pass on to their children through their responses.
Thus, your current experiences are influenced by the belief systems formed in childhood, rather than the experiences themselves.
While it’s easy to blame parents for how we were treated, we must remember that our experiences extend beyond them.
Emotions linked to thoughts or experiences create memories or burdens within our cellular and molecular structure. When triggered, these memories resurface to be acknowledged.
We are instinctively programmed to respond with fight or flight rather than to observe, feel, and release. This cycle of survival responses has shaped the world we inhabit today.
Next time you feel triggered, take a moment to consider the source of the trigger. When you ground yourself and listen, you may discover that your reaction isn't coming from the highest version of yourself but from a program established since childhood, rooted in those early belief systems.
Example
Example.... a trigger event was that a cabinet that hit her right ear, she screamed from the shock and because it had hurt. Her partner was in the other room, on their phone and hadn't asked if she was ok.
This trigger event became the final straw to resolving a memory
She discovered the link between the relationship (and others) where her partner would often neglect her feelings, laughed at her when she cried and failed to come to her aid when she was clearly hurt. Through these experiences it was common for her to go into the bathroom and cry, many times laying on the floor finding herself in a panic. She noted she felt abandoned, forgotten and ashamed.
Each time an event such as this that had occurred, she was shown on a bathroom floor. We often disregard these visions and hide our feelings that were triggered. It was through these looping experiences that she finally made the connection.
Her experiences through partners, family etc. being hurt and no one responding in a way that made her feel safe, protected and taken care of, all stemmed from her experience while she was in the hospital at 9 yrs old.
She had been placed in an adult ward, to be monitored as she would wake up in the middle of the night unable to breathe.
One night, she woke up in the early morning hour, unable to breathe, no one was around, she couldn't call out so she walked over to the doorway. No one was around, she recalled walking into the bathroom and that was the last memory she had.
She had passed out on the bathroom floor because she couldn't breathe and no one had come to her aid. The lack of oxygen had her near the end but it wasn't over, a passerby noticed her lying on the floor and came to her aid. She was rushed to the OR where they found a large mass engulfing her. Later it was deemed cancer. This memory ... a fear of being forgotten and as she grew up, her caregivers added to this fear.
In order to balance this memory (emotion attached to the experience) generated experience after experience, showing her what she was holding onto.
We are not taught to take the time to look at what triggers us. Instead we go about our lives, blaming and shaming others, never looking inward for the answer.
When we do this, not only do we keep ourselves from growing, but also others who are affected by the experience. In this case, the other party had bared witness to physical abuse of their siblings. As a child, they were further instilled with fear by their parents. Consequently, the child was left voiceless, unable to assist their siblings and grew up emotionally detached from others who would seek compassion.
