SECONDARY ACTIVATION
Once we are activated/triggered about something,
we become more triggerable (more easily activated).
If I find myself getting activated about something that normally
would not bother me that much (or at all),
that is a sign that I was already activated about something else,
and this is a secondary activation.
I try to figure out what the original activating event was.
Then I focus on neutralizing the past trauma related to that.
Secondary activations tend to vanish as soon as the primary one is
recognized and the past trauma associated with it is neutralized.
