i really like that line alena, we have a choice about what triggers us. that was really useful to me. it is about choice. as always, amazing video :)

I'm sooooo glad we work together! I had totally forgotten most of what you have in your vid!...Mine was more about parameters and boundaries within "safe" or "normal"...we're an awesome team sis!

2:18, 2:20 you're so right. Thanks Alena.

It's always difficult to avoid things and comments that may trigger, as you said I think it's a matter of learning how to deal with them without freaking out.

thank's very much Alena & Sarah for this

vid you are awesome!

thanks sweetie for watching!

I hope this helps some people and of course you should always tell a friend what your trigger-topics are :)

You did a great job, Alena, of explaining this pervasive and very difficult subject. Thank you! In sum, it seems a person must balance personal honesty with caring sensitivity for others' weaknesses. So we really are in this together as a supportive team...sharing strength, giving strength and willing to receive strength.

thanks for watching... you always find such great words, wow :)

never hesitate to ask or talk about something, ok?

how is your girl doing, did you write her?

hugs, xo

Thanks for asking. I am still in the process of transcribing your beauty message and will send it on to Compassion International...who will translate it into Spanish...then a local sponsor will help her write back. All this takes about three months from Honduras to me. In my heart I talk directly to her picture, and she says she does the same to the pictures I've sent. Since she and I will never see each other face to face, her every word is precious, and it is worth being patient for them.

Great topic!

I think that the awareness of what are triggers in of itself helps to reduce them, for me.

I know I can't read ED memoirs (even the ones with numbers and behaviours omitted) so I can make the choice to not read them and pick up a different genre.

I used to keep a notebook with me to jot down any negative ed thoughts and the event proceeding it so I can be aware...

After watching your vid - I think I might start that again to aid my recovery.

Thanks!

wow great that it helped you!

I like to read ED books, like Wasted but they can be seen as 'advice' as well :(

hope you'll keep working on recovery, alway write me if your want to!
