Brad Schipke explains how PTSD triggers work: an environmental stimulus reminds your subconscious of past trauma, and your body reacts as if it's happening again, flooding you with the same emotions and physical sensations. Healing is possible by learning trauma-processing tools that address the root cause.
What happens when PTSD is triggered? Well, a trigger is just a stimulus in your environment that reminds your subconscious mind of a past trauma. So your body then reacts as if the present situation is the same as the original past trauma, which floods you with the same emotions, beliefs, and physical reactions. But the most important thing is that you can heal from this. When you learn how to process trauma at the root, you stop reliving it as if it was happening right now.
