Communicating effectively in the presence of being triggered.

I personally know how easily my fear of abandonment gets triggered when interactions with Scott become heated.  Just last week I had a very scary interaction with him where he was mistakenly doubting my love and I just experienced that horrendous psychic flooding of chemicals which often leads me to just split off or over react.  On last Thursday I was able to hold my ground lovingly and then I just got down on the floor in a ball and cried my heart out while Jasper sat guard over me hip to hip!!  (My sweet sweet boy.)  I did take a break and later he calmed down and apologised but the fear I felt at the time was probably overwhelming as he was unconsciously making me hold his as well (as others do to the emotional sensitive when they are triggered too).

Anyway I just came across this article online about the subject thought it may be of help to some followers :
