Start with the belief that someone triggering you probably is not doing it deliberately. They are probably unaware.
This is probably the best advice - it's hard sometimes, but I generally believe that people aren't malicious in their interactions with other people. Of course, there are times that someone is malicious, but I feel like initial interactions, or people that you consider close, are not "out to get you."
You can't always control your triggers and the feelings they stir up inside of you, but it is also good to give people the benefit of the doubt and try to be understanding of their side.
