When trauma occurs, the "body keeps the score".

The trauma may be deep and become part of ourselves only we may not be aware of this.

When a "trigger" occurs, our body shifts into a stress mode and we react the way we do, this may be a overreaction given the actual situation or we may be "too sensitive" or you may be told you "stress yourself out".

This may also make you vulnerable to people who can use your triggers to manipulate or "gas light" you.
