| In the outside world, it's best to be careful what you say and be "politically correct" to prevent upsetting others. But your relationship can be a haven for being who you are precisely in all your glorious imperfection. However, being "radically honest" might trigger your partner. I still find being completely honest is one of the best things Tim and I ever did for our relationship. There is a comfort in knowing that you have nothing swept under the rug or withheld. But there is an art to being honest and kind at the same time. My dear friend, Dr. Susan Campbell, has a brand new book called, From Triggered to Tranquil: How Self-Compassion and Mindful Presence Can Transform Relationship Conflicts and Heal Childhood Wounds. 
This "triggering" is an opportunity for growth and learning that will bring you closer. You can come together and discuss what triggered you. Because if you sweep upset under the rug, it may turn into an even bigger problem you can no longer control. The reason you or your lover get "triggered" in the first place has to do with "core fears." Our core fears can run us unless we identify and heal the wounds. I had the tremendous opportunity to interview Dr. Campbell about core wounding. I highly suggest you watch this informative video. Core Fears Running Your Life ⇐ Find out how to heal these core fears right here. 
HEAL THOSE WOUNDS When someone reacts or gets upset, it's usually from a "core fear" embedded in our brains because of how our parents raised us. However, there's a simple way to rewire ourselves. I interviewed a good friend of mine, Dr. Susan Campbell, specifically on this topic and her book, the "Five-Minute Relationship Repair:" Heal Those Wounds Early On ⇐ Video interview on how to get rid of the core fears running your life.  I know this will help improve your relationship, whether or not you and your partner easily get triggered.
