Trigger Stop: Supporting Children's Emotional Regulation
Trigger Stop is an iPhone application designed to assist children in expressing their internal sensations and emotions when triggered, whether by trauma or emotional stress. Through visual images, children can communicate their feelings effectively, especially when verbal communication is challenging. This app aims to help children identify and express their sensory and emotional experiences, promoting self-regulation and emotional literacy.
When a child experiences a trauma trigger, they may exhibit behaviors associated with Fight, Flight, or Freeze responses. Trigger Stop provides a platform for children to communicate their emotions non-verbally, aiding caring adults in understanding and supporting the child during moments of distress. By facilitating communication through visual cues, this app offers a valuable tool for children to express their sensations and emotions effectively.
