When we are triggered, there is so much happening within our bodies it's extremely challenging to respond with calm and patience and find resolution. We become overwhelmed with emotion, stress and, possibly anxiety, we might not know what to do in that exact moment. We might react in a way we regret causing us to feel shame. We talk a lot about thought work here on the podcast but at the precise time we are triggered there are a few steps to take first that will get you the results you really want. These steps will help you respond with confidence and kindness rather than with an impulsive reaction which will result in healthier relationships with others and yourself.
