Think about that word for a minute.  Everyone has one.  Its not just on a gun, although in today's time that is an important one. Trigger by definition is a small device that releases a spring or catch and so sets off a mechanism, especially in a gun.It s also defined as "cause to happen or exist (event or situation).  For example "an allergy can be triggered by stress or overwork".  If you think about it, other words that go with trigger are: finger, words, happy, warning, point, food and there are also triggers in psychology.  Trigger foods - this effects you if you have an eating disorder like compulsive overeating.  I fall into that category as well as some others.  A trigger finger is the forefinger of the hand that typically is used to pull the trigger on a gun.  A trigger is something that causes someone to have a extreme reaction.  It can be fear, upset or anger or another emotion, especially because of some traumatic event in their life. Some of my trigger foods are cookie dough like sugar cookies or chocolate chips cookie dough.  Chips - they are another big trigger.  However, when I get upset or stressed, it triggers me to my addiction to antacids, Walmart's equate brand especially.  My anger is also triggered when people talk down to me like I'm stupid or call me an idiot and whatever the irritation is, you do not want me to start yelling.  Calling me names is a sure way to get that started.  I get frustrated and angry when I can't pay bills or even set up a budget because of our salaries these past several months. My OCD is triggered when I can't keep things on calendar especially if I don't know about them. Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lsfarnsworth29)Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!
