Sherri Koehler (she/her)<p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/WordNerd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WordNerd</span></a> friends, what are your favorite synonyms for “trigger” when using the word as a noun to refer to something that activates a trauma response?</p><p>I really dislike using metaphors that reference weapons. These feel especially wrong when I’m building skills for my health and well-being! This is why I prefer “activated” over “triggered”, it feels more clear to me as well. However, there’s not a clear noun, “activator” or “activatee” (which is made up) feel confusing and awkward.</p><p>I’ve thought of “thorn”, which has some metaphorical connotation of something painful, sharp, arresting. I’m curious to know what other words folks use to describe the thing that activates a tender response rooted in trauma.</p>
