Tran advised not to start your day focussed on a "realm that is outside of you." Instead, she said, when you wake up in the morning, "get grounded in you" for at least 15 minutes. Once you do open up social media, she suggested staying aware of how long you're on those sites and also how your body is responding because there really is no trigger warning.
"I think back to when George Floyd was murdered in Minneapolis. I'm coming [to social media] because I want comfort. I want to distract myself in a healthy way," Tran said. "As I was scrolling, my body would just get tense. And the thing about it is when you experience trauma, it holds itself in the body. So there's a huge possibility that as I'm scrolling through social media, my own trauma is being triggered by what I see." When you're feeling triggered, she said, remember to pause.
