180: Stop Attacking Yourself: Exploring The Trigger Trap

In this episode, I delve into the fascinating realm of non-intentional triggers and how they can lead to overblown reactions and negative inner dialogues. Through four relatable stories from my life, I explore how past experiences, like childhood sports memories and family dynamics, shape our sensitivities and triggering points today. This is about the importance of awareness and control over our emotional responses. You will learn about the 3 'C' method - to "collect, communicate, and calm" your triggers. With practical actions and thought-nudging quotes, this episode offers listeners pathways to manage their reactions and break free from the self-doubt spiral, encouraging a reflective journey towards self-belief and emotional resilience.   Reference:  A Life of One's Own by Marion Milner Quote included from Dr Nicole LePera   For all sorts of resources on the topic of 'staying unsquashed' including some tests - visit my website.
