## Description A *Burden* is essentially the reason why a [[Parts]] would want to take over and repeat patterns that it feels it needs to enact. So far in my experience, a *Burden* is a response to a trigger, like when someone says "that triggers me". When my [[System]] is stressed or under some emotional attack, I can feel a version of me take over. When in a relaxed state, like [[Self]], I can better connect with these *Parts* and reduce their need to respond with urgency.
