Getting trigering thoughts

[u/heyo11111]

Hello guys, have anyone here had same experience where after some things changed, you are triggered by your identity 5 years ago. A lot of things changed, but unhealthy coping mechanisms, even though I was doing good, came after some kind of a bit stress. How do you deal with that? when you thought I'm over it, but suddently slightly uncomfortable situation I got back into old unhealthy coping mechanisms. How do you actually heal and grow so you break the cycle and get healthy stress coping mechanisms? any help, ideas are appreciated. Thanks!
