What if I told you that our emotional triggers are actually teachers in disguise.
How does that land for you? Do you feel resistance? Fear? Acceptance? Surrender?
When you feel wounded and triggered, every muscle fiber in your body (including that big beautiful beating Heart) feels unsafe and is seeking security. The default setting for most is to numb the feelings. When we numb, we feed our addictions, we retreat to protect ourselves, we apologize insincerely to avoid the hard conversation...
The thing that you do when you feel triggered might feel comforting in the moment, but in the long run, it buries the pain and creates more entanglements which might end up with you being
in a relationship that feels hollow and unfulfillingin a career that doesn't feel like it has purpose and feel misalignedexhaustedaddicted frozen with fearreactionary with the people who love youWhen you are scared of your emotional triggers, you are afraid to feel the emotion beneath the trigger. You might be afraid to disappoint or hurt people so you keep martyring yourself. You might be afraid to look weak so you are selfless to the point you completely drain your cup. You might be afraid that you aren't living up to the image of The Good Wife/Daughter/Employee so you mold yourself to the point that you can no longer recognize yourself.
It's time to start looking at your triggers with compassion and curiosity. To stop numbing and step up to your triggers to see if you can learn anything from them.
Here’s a glance at what you’ll learn from this episode:
Understand the physiology of your emotional triggers and where they come from Learn tools to create safety in the body when starting to connect to amplified negative emotionsUnderstand the nuance of the different containers that different emotions need to alchemize. For example, anger needs movement. Grief needs ceremony. The balms for each emotion is different.
