Managing triggers and risks
Some places and situations present specific risks and triggers for people, for example being alone at home late at night with internet access. These can become more risky if combined with risky thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and can provide the beginning of a chain of unhealthy behaviour.
That’s why it is so important to recognise what your triggers are, and situations and environments that are risky for you.
On the downloadable worksheet list what these triggers and situations are and why they are risky. Then identify what you can do to manage them.
