Oftentimes, when people think of a trigger, the picture that enters their mind is a gun. A trigger can also be something that causes a memory to arise. The trigger can be a smell, a song or just about anything. The memory can be a pleasant one or a very painful one.
I have found that many things trigger my memories of past loves and moments in time. Living in the same city has made the triggers much more abundant. I have had to find ways to move out of the memory and focus on what is going on in the present. It is hard at times to do so; but with quite a bit of practice, the transitioning has been easier.
