I would actually advise you to change your perception here. When something triggers the thoughts that cause you to beat up on yourself, that is an opportunity to redefine them, so that you can feel more confident, more often. When you notice that you are beating up on yourself, calm down and ask yourself WHY. Question your thoughts, and question whether they should be true. Then think of other possibilities, so that you can redefine those thoughts.

A trigger can be a gift that you have to open very carefully. And it’s a gift that will lead to more moments of peace and confidence.
