Nov 17, 2021 • S02 E35 • 00:12:43
In this episode, Shelley Treacher explains what being “triggered” really means and why our emotional reactions often link back to experiences of rejection or abandonment.
You’ll learn how triggers relate to comfort eating, defensiveness, and codependency, how the nervous system responds through fight, flight, freeze or fawn, and how to start responding to your emotions with understanding and compassion instead of avoidance.
