This will be challenging!If you find yourself triggered or
emotional, take some time, ask for support and use the tools.
If you trigger a transformation or healing, take the time to drop in, get
support, and do the work or else you’ll just retain the same pattern.
Recognize if you have a pattern that wants you to go into drama or
suffering. Recognize that you’d empower yourself by moving through
the pattern and claiming a new experience.
