11 Techniques to Stay Emotionally Centered and Calm With Difficult Family Members [1]

HJ: The funny thing about family is that they trigger within us the most deeply held limiting beliefs, emotional patterns and wounds, so while it can be extremely frustrating, it can also be a way to identify your most deeply hidden patterns for rapid healing.  Most people just immediately react emotionally, but if you pause and ask yourself instead, “What must I believe is true about myself in order to be reacting to this?” or “What pattern is this person triggering within me?” or something along those lines you can quickly identify the source of the emotional issues you are facing.

Point in case, someone can only trigger you to the extent that you hold limiting beliefs and emotional blockages around a given issue/topic/situation.  So if you are being triggered, it means something is there.  Instead of reacting at the person doing the triggering, look within and discover the wound.  Then by using many of the techniques and articles outlined on this site, you can begin the process of self-healing and never be triggered again!
