back in the bad old days when combat ptsd was still being called, "shell shock" and even the dumbest of us was still smarter than a phone, i learned a psychotherapy technique called, "trigger management." no one believed that triggers could be predicted or that any two people would experience identical cycles. it never occurred to us that we should expect others to take responsibility for our trigger events. instead, we worked to build an awareness of when we had been triggered and how to manage the psychotic sequences of events within our strictly personal cycles.

has anyone heard of and/or practiced this technique? i am not even sure i am remembering it correctly.
