32. Thank You for Triggering Me

Trigger warning! Today, I am talking about… triggers. Not necessarily those traumatic examples that tend to come with a trigger warning. I’m talking about triggers in general – those moments when something happens and we experience fear, shame, anger, or other reactive emotions.

Years ago, I decided that I was going to take responsibility for my emotions. Instead of blaming someone else for how I felt, I was going to investigate why I was feeling that way. After years of doing this, I can tell you that no trigger happens without purpose. There is a wealth of information and healing that comes when you allow yourself to go into the thought and emotion behind the trigger.

That’s what I want to share today – my experience with investigating my triggers, to possibly empower you to stop giving your power away to others ...
