    What to Do When You’re Triggered in a Relationship (Script + Steps)

    work with me, free 7 days: https://www.skool.com/inspired-life-method-9441/ When you (or your partner) get triggered, your relationship doesn’t need another fight — it needs a reset.Here’s what to do during the trigger and after the trigger so you stop repeating the same arguments.What you’ll learn (fast + scannable)The 3 scenarios: you triggered / them triggered / both triggeredHow to regulate first (so you don’t say things you regret)How to co-regulate your partner when you’re calmHow to find the real trigger underneath the conflictA simple agreement to stop “the same trigger” looping foreverThe exact script to say when the moment hitsThe core idea (simple + practical)Most couples don’t fail because triggers happen — they fail because they don’t have a plan for what happens next. If you try to “fix it” while you’re activated, you’ll default to blame, defensiveness, shutdown, or attack. So the order matters: Regulate → Reflect → Integrate.What to do DURING the trigger (regulation)If your partner is triggered and you’re not:“You’re safe. I’m here. I’m not going anywhere.”Slow your breathing, soften your tone, reduce intensityAsk what they need: space, touch, reassurance, or silenceIf BOTH of you are triggered:Minimize damage (pause, separate, breathe)Agree to revisit when you’re both calmWhat to do AFTER the trigger (reflection + integration)Name the trigger: “What was it really?” (control, abandonment, disrespect, etc.)Track repetition: if it’s the 3rd time, schedule a healing/integration sessionDo the work with a professional you trust (coach/therapist/healer) so the trigger stops running your relationshipThe Script (say this instead of escalating)“Hey love — I can feel I’m getting triggered. I don’t want to fight.Can we pause for 20 minutes, regulate, and then come back and talk about what this is really about?”(And if your partner is triggered:)“I’m here. You’re safe. I love you. Take your time — we can talk when your body settles.”
