Minimal Trigger Vigilance
Expressions activating this band show little or no clear focus on anticipating triggers or monitoring for provocation, and may instead contain unrelated concerns or only very diffuse strain. When the proxy appears, it is present only as a faint background sense that difficulties could arise.
Low Trigger Vigilance
Expressions activating this band reflect emerging awareness that certain situations, reminders, or changes can set off distressing reactions. The experience includes noticing upsetting cues, avoiding some reminders, or recognizing symptoms without sustained anticipation of specific outbursts.
Moderate Trigger Vigilance
Expressions activating this band reflect active worry that minor events may provoke anxiety, irritability, aggression, or conflict. The experience is marked by watchfulness, walking on eggshells, and accommodating another person's reactions to prevent escalation.
High Trigger Vigilance
Expressions activating this band reflect deliberate management of surroundings to keep provoking cues under control. The experience centers on structuring the environment in anticipation of possible reactions.
Severe Trigger Vigilance
Expressions activating this band reflect pervasive preoccupation with triggers, including attempts to predict them, avoid them, and control the environment because reactions are expected to be sudden or intense. The experience includes uncertainty about what will set off an outburst and strong behavioral avoidance of likely provoking situations.
