Anxiety impacts millions of adults a year. To help better their community, Pinnacle Peak Recovery, located in Scottsdale, Arizona, recently put out a blog educating on anxiety triggers. Their goal with this piece is to help more people recognize the things that may be impacting their anxiety so they can get help if needed.

To start the piece off, Pinnacle Peak first explains what a trigger is to readers. “A trigger in the world of mental health is an event that causes you to react, most often in a negative way. These events can be anything from a sound to a location or even a scent. Triggers are specific to an individual, though some triggers are more common than others.”

Triggers are not exclusive to anxiety. The rehab center informs readers that trauma, depression, and some other mental health conditions can also have triggers. Triggers can range in severity and specificity. They can also change over time, especially with treatment.

“In order to better understand how triggers can impact anxiety, let’s first better define what anxiety is.” The blog continues. “Anyone can experience anxiety; it’s a feeling akin to nervousness, stress, or worry. Most often, though, when people are talking about ‘anxiety’ they’re referring to a generalized anxiety disorder, or GAD. This is a person who experiences heightened worry, often about things outside of their control, so much so that it begins to take control of their life.”

For those managing anxiety, a trigger would be a sensory experience that makes their anxiety worsen. “There’s no way to fit an exhaustive list of triggers into one blog post.” Pinnacle Peak informs readers. “Everyone has their own triggers, and even similar triggers often have the slightest differences. Despite this, there are many triggers that are more common than others.”

The Arizona rehab center highlights common triggers like loud noises, crowds, bad weather, and more. They take the time in their blog to further elaborate on some of these common triggers, too. Readers can learn more about the specifics of these triggers in the blog post.

To help wrap up the blog, Pinnacle Peak walks readers through how to handle triggers at home, and when treatment would be most applicable to help manage triggers. “One of the most important things you can do to manage your triggers is to have a trusted individual help you… Another powerful tool at your disposal is journaling.” They inform readers. “When learning how to manage your specific triggers on your own, it’s important to speak with your therapist about what options will work best for you. They will be able to best help you make a plan to suit your needs.”

For those seeking healing from substance use, untreated mental health conditions, or any combination of the two, Pinnacle Peak Recovery has options available for you. This Arizona-based rehab center utilizes evidence-based approaches to find the right options for every individual who walks through their doors. Their staff is highly trained and seeks to treat every client with respect and care, fostering a family feel in their facility and community.
