From the recording What Are Triggers
Lyrics
Triggers aren’t problems — they’re intel.
They show up to reveal where I’m fragmented, stuck, or out of sync with what’s actually happening.
When I respect them, they become a direct path to more clarity about what dies and doesn't work for me.
I used to avoid them.
Try to override them.
Get caught in loops of blame or self-judgment.
Or talk too soon — trying to make sense of something I hadn’t really felt yet.
But a trigger is a signal, not an enemy.
The work isn’t to explain it away or dump it on someone else.
It’s to feel it directly, stay present with it, and track what story, pattern, or distortion it’s pointing to.
I’m not always clear in the moment why I feel what I feel — and that’s okay.
My practice is to pause the narrative, feel the sensation, and let it clarify on its own terms.
That’s why I often process alone first.
If I speak too early, I risk reinforcing confusion or projecting unintegrated story.
Unless I’m with someone who can hold a clean field — someone who can stay present without fusing to the content, judging it, or trying to fix it.
When that level of co-presence is possible, triggers become collaborative fuel for a mutual process.
They open up deeper insight.
They clarify desire and boundaries.
They free up stuck patterns and stories — so both people can evolve toward more accurate, free, and expansive ways of relating to experience and each other.
So no, triggers aren’t the problem.
They’re portals — back to what’s real, what’s alive, what’s asking to be metabolized.
