We all get triggered, it's part of being a human with an imperfect past. That's not the problem. The problem can be figuring out what to do when these moments of being triggered start harming our relationships and breaking down our own self-worth. Learning how to respond to our triggers in healthy ways and address the underlying reasons for the triggers is the work we're discussing here today.

Here are the triggering questions I used in the podcast:

· What situations tend to bring out intense emotional responses from me?

· Do these situations include specific themes, memories, or experiences?

· What emotions do I feel most often when I feel triggered?

· Has there been a pattern for what has upset me most throughout the course of my relationships?

· What happens when I get triggered?

· What do you notice?

· What might the people around me notice?

· What helps me feel more grounded after a trigger has occurred?

· What happens when I see my loved one experiencing a trigger?

· What helps us feel connected again after the trigger has occurred?
