- All people have things that trigger them and cause them to become dis-regulated. But children from hard places have a very sensitive stress response system, which means they have a "hair pull" trigger or thin emotional margin. This can look like scary behaviors resulting from small stimuli. "Trauma comes back as a reaction, not a memory." - Bessel van der Kolk In this training, we will look at how we can recognize the things that trigger a response from our children, and how to address them. We will also take a look at our own triggers and how they might impact our response to our children.
