[QUOTE="JayJaySattva, post: 59539, member: 147"] Psychological trauma can induce triggers that can be activated by saying certain things to people. For example, you can insult somebody in regards to the money he makes and he wouldn't care, but mess with his mom (insult) and you'll see what happens. A word operates at the psychologica level, it is purely the realm of human thought. Thus, I think that what determines how much of a trigger is something to you depends on the projected meaning of that word in relation to your lived experience. This is a viewpoint that is valid, but highly reductionistic as it doesn't account for nuances such as psychological trauma induced by people like your parents for example. Because "you" are not a single identity Raul. In reality, the mind of Raul is more akin to a committee of thoughts where there is the causality of thoughts more common that you call you, but there can also be other parts such as the Id or the Superego. These other parts that operate at the unconscious level can also get offended. Though the categorization of these things is highly dependent on the psychoanalytic theory applied to the mind. For Freud there is the aforementioned, for Jung you have the Anima or the Animus, the shadow, etc. [/QUOTE]
