Saturday - 11/04/09 - Spirited Saturday - Alena - Triggers

Very difficult question this week:
Is there a rule of thumb or etiquette or litany of do's and don't s regarding what is and what will trigger? How would a person know? Within my own ED issues I know what triggers, but how can I be careful and not trigger someone with different ED issues? (tommax26)
I tried my best to cover every aspect...
have a nice weekend&easter everybody

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!

Great video, If you need any help getting your videos or channel exposed, i use a service called thetubeviews . net it has helped 5 of my videos get ranked on the first page

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!

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 :)

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

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.

thanks sweetie for watching!

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

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!

xoxo

[favea]

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

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.
