Married After Kids

Ep. 184: Are You Feeling Triggered


Listen Later

Sometimes, the topics that make us most uncomfortable are the ones we need to talk about the most. In this episode, we’re diving into the tough (but crucial) topic of triggers - those moments that make us feel defensive, frustrated, or downright vulnerable in our relationships. If you’ve ever felt like certain conversations leave you feeling overly angry or misunderstood, this one’s for you.

Tune in to discover:

  • Why it’s often easier to focus on what we wish our partner would change rather than looking inward (and what happened when my partner pointed out something I never expected)
  • The hidden reasons behind feeling “triggered” and how to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface
  • A surprising strategy to use in arguments that shifts the dynamic and helps both of you feel seen
  • How to recognize your own triggers and communicate them to your spouse
  • Why facing your triggers head-on is essential for breaking free from the same frustrating cycles
  • The power of grace and love when dealing with uncomfortable feelings
