Coping with triggers and shunning may seem like two different topics. However, they have at their basis the same factors, and changing these factors in our favor can help us to cope with both, and in fact thrive beyond them. There is little one can do to stop the shunning by still-members of the group we have exited from. Those triggers that explode in our hearts and minds without notice can be difficult to react positively to. Those things are hard to change. What we can change is how we react to them. How we react to them is linked to our belief system - what we believe about ourselves, and what we believe about the group we have left (how much it still matters to us). How can we change our belief system?
