I started taking this to another deeper level and asking myself why I am triggered by certain situations and events. Like when I feel anxiety I try my best to become aware of it and be like 'oh, why am I being triggered now, what is causing this?' It's a real journey. One of my goals this year was to understand fear and how it arises. It's been fascinating.

This was really helpful. It reminded me of backwards teaching with the exception that the students are the ones who do the assessing of themselves.

isnt this just self awareness? are people really so unaware of themselves that they need a fancy phrase to realize it?
