Easily Triggered to React? The Wise Choose to Consciously Respond Instead

How do you move from reacting impulsively to responding with clarity and wisdom? In this episode of Evolving to Exceptional, host Jessica Tietjen explores how chronic stress lowers our trigger tolerance, leading to unconscious reactions shaped by past experiences.

Inspired by a recent SHRM webinar, Jessica shares:

-How past patterns influence your emotional and behavioral responses

-Why stress and overwhelm make reactive states more likely

-A personal story of an online attack—and how to respond wisely

-Practical tools to foster emotional regulation & balanced decision-making

-How to replace fight, flight, freeze, or fawn with conscious responses

By understanding your triggers and stress responses, you can transform how you navigate conflict, challenges, and daily interactions.
