If someone’s behavior triggers an emotional response, blaming them for your feelings will result in you missing an opportunity for healing. Even if they apologize and change their behavior to accommodate you, the trigger remains in you, lying dormant until it’s activated again from a different source. On the other hand, if you realize that your reaction comes from within you, you can sit with the sensations caused by your emotions until they dissolve. Once emotions are felt and processed this way, both the charge and reaction disappear. The very same behavior is then met…
With compassion.
