Triggers Are Invitations, Not Weakness

What if your emotional triggers weren’t flaws, but clues? Learn how to shift from shame to self-awareness.

That sharp reaction you had? The shutdown? The tears over something “small”? Like the spilled plant on the photo.

That was a trigger.

And it doesn’t mean you’re dramatic or too sensitive. For me, the plant was a reminder of being treated like Cinderella before the bipitty bopitty boop.

It means your nervous system was trying to keep you safe based on a past experience.

Most of us are taught to push through, numb out, or pretend it doesn’t matter.

But if you listen to your body—you’ll realize it’s not betraying you.

It’s protecting you.
