Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

"Our triggers are our responsibility." Sharon Pope

In this episode, I talk about that feeling of taking two steps forward and one step back in your relationship. 

I explain why triggers are personal, often rooted in childhood, and why we have to own them.

We can't control everyone around us, but we can change the meaning we give to their behavior. 

Real listening and presence are rare right now. We can all build that muscle. 

Healing happens when what used to trigger you no longer does, not when someone finally obeys. 

Progress isn’t linear; this is life school, so be gentle with yourself and use setbacks as information. 

When you heal a trigger, you don’t just step forward; you take a quantum leap.
