The Gift of Triggers: How to Heal Without Reliving Trauma
Description
In this episode of Real Talk: Divorce, Life & Everything In-Between, Lorene Roberts and Richard Morton dive into the raw reality of triggers, trauma, and healing.
Lorene shares a recent experience of being re-traumatised during training and walks through the exact steps she used to get herself out of a spiral — from acknowledging the inner child, to breathing, to using music to shift her state in just 30 minutes. Richard adds powerful self-regulation techniques from Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), tapping, and simple nervous system holds that anyone can practise.
Together, they unpack why triggers are actually gifts, how to set boundaries without guilt, and why acceptance, acknowledgement, and gratitude are the keys to lasting emotional freedom.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in the past, overwhelmed by triggers, or unsure how to reset your mind and body, this conversation gives you the tools you need to move forward.
