Is it true that people who have mastered emotional skills are not reacting to triggers?
That’s less likely the case. As long as we are alive, we have feelings, and we will have reactions. Even if people manage not to react to triggers, it doesn’t mean they don’t feel anything.
So, what’s the truth behind the seemingly no reaction? One explanation is that people who have mastered their emotional muscles and skills have enough capacity to support themselves with self-empathy and help others calm down.
Being able to support ourselves so we are not reacting is very different from having no reaction toward triggers.
When we see people as people, we have more opportunities to uncover the truth.
