In yesterday's class, I made an experience of triggers myself, that threw me out of balance! It was at the time of our exercise to find out about another person's cues/triggers for safety or unsafety, so it came to be a perfect example:
Thorsten had prepared the breakout rooms as we had agreed before the session. I had explained the META-state that facilitates our communication and connection, and thought I'd made the point of the exercise clear. But then my screen showed that the breakout rooms weren't occupied, that there were people who were alone in their room (~~#F00:visual trigger of helplessness~~), and I became confused and irritated why this didn't work as well as I'd wished. 
I would have liked a little break and let the exercise take care of itself. I heard Thorsten mutter while he was trying to re-order the groups (~~#F00:auditory disturbing trigger~~, and I'm sensitive for those) I saw that Cecilia still was in the main room without a partner, and that time was ticking (~~#F00:visual trigger and my own thoughts of having to make this work~~). So I jumped in and suggested we pair up in spite of my need of a break (~~#F00:lack of self-care~~). And then I found that there was a problem with unclarity about the task and I wanted to help and change roles - leading to more confusion. I didn't access the Meta-state and my Social Engagement System was disabled throughout that situation, and it felt exhausting, surely to both of us! 
So Cecilia, I apologize to you - had I been in my right mind, I could just have reported about how I felt and what had triggered me! 

Back together with the whole class I caught my SES back when Ailish reported her experience - so thanks for co-regulation!.
Yet, afterwards I needed to debrief the situation and to let out sympathetic activation with Thorsten, and to tap, then we agreed to refine the preparation of breakout rooms and exercises. So there was a climb of the autonomic ladder, and a learning found too.

I want to share this because it illustrates what META-Health and our exercises are about - situations happen, nobody's perfect, and we aim to avoid to escalate a conflict or a self-devaluation in order to help ourselves and each other heal and grow, by understanding the body-mind-social interaction!
