If I feel even slightly triggered my go-to coping mechanism is to take alone time. But, as someone with BPD, I get triggered all the damn time- which means I'm taking "alone time" all the damn time. I literally cannot spend an entire day with anyone, even my FP, because I'll feel triggered and withdrawal to be by myself. It's the ONLY coping mechanism I've found that works for me, and yet it STILL causes damage, because people don't understand why I hide away so often. I just feel like I will literally never learn how to actually have healthy relationships...
