#222 | Managing Triggers After Infidelity: 5 Essential Questions Answered


Listen Later

Hi everyone, Todd Creager here. In today's powerful episode, I dive deep into one of the most challenging aspects of healing after infidelity: managing triggers as a couple.

Drawing from my years of experience working with couples, I answer the five most crucial questions about triggers that both betrayed and betraying partners frequently ask.

In this episode, you'll discover:

- Why triggers aren't necessarily a problem, but rather opportunities to develop emotional muscle and deepen your connection

- Practical strategies to support your partner during triggered moments, including my powerful concept of "attunement"

- How to prevent triggers from controlling your relationship while maintaining sensitivity and understanding

What makes this episode special is that I share real-world examples from my practice, including a recent success story where a couple transformed a triggering moment into an opportunity for deeper connection. 

You'll learn the difference between regular emotions and trauma-based triggers, and get actionable steps for both partners to handle these challenging moments with grace and maturity.

Whether you're the betrayed or betraying partner, this episode will give you the tools and understanding needed to navigate triggers effectively and strengthen your relationship. Join me as we make the world safe for love, one relationship at a time.

Listen now to transform how you handle triggers in your relationship's healing journey.
