#178 // Triggered by Grief: How to Calm Trauma Responses After Child Loss


Listen Later

Have you ever been singing in church when one lyric sends you spiraling back into the worst day of your life? Or you're walking through the grocery store when your child’s favorite ice cream cracks open a wave of grief that leaves you breathless?

Friend, those moments don’t have to own you.

In today’s episode, Teresa shares the neuroscience behind grief triggers, the biblical story of Peter’s restoration, and a gentle, research-backed method for replacing painful memories with ones that bring peace. You'll learn why your body responds the way it does—and what to do when it feels like your mind is stuck on replay.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Body’s Alarm – why your brain stores trauma through sensory triggers

  • Rewire vs. Repeat – what happens if painful memories aren’t replaced

  • The Scene Swap – how recalling one good moment can shift everything

  • Truth That Sticks – why pairing memory with scripture brings lasting peace
