My Sadness Triggers
There are some stress, anger, and sadness triggers that we can avoid. For example, if watching a scary movie makes you feel stressed, you can choose a different movie instead. However, there are some triggers that we cannot always avoid such as bad weather, being stuck in traffic, or going to the doctor. When we can't avoid a stressor, we should come up with plans to help us cope with the emotions they cause.
