Triggers and Warning Signs
Finding the pattern before it takes over
Key ideas
A trigger is not a command; it is a cue to use a plan.
Body warning signs can include heat, tight jaw, faster speech, clenched hands, shallow breathing, or pacing.
Patterns become easier to change when they are written down instead of explained away.
Written practice
Make a trigger map with three columns: situations, body signals, and thoughts. Add at least three examples in each column.
Quick check
Why are body warning signs useful?
Expected answer
They often appear before words or actions become difficult to control.
