Triggers 101: Understanding Your Reactions
Description
You’re having a normal day—coffee in hand, scrolling your phone—and suddenly your chest tightens, your heart races, and you’re spiraling. That’s a trigger. But what exactly does it mean to be “triggered”?
In this episode, I’m breaking down what triggers really are (spoiler: they’re your nervous system’s way of trying to protect you), how to recognize when you’re in the middle of one, and practical tools to help you calm your body and regain control. I’ll share real-life examples from my work as a therapist—and from my own life—because yes, we all get triggered.
Whether your buttons get pushed by family drama, your toddler’s meltdown, or something deeper, this quick episode will give you tools to respond with more calm and less chaos.
