Feeling blindsided by your triggers—like a single comment or look can send you spiraling? In this episode of Inner Sanctuary RAW, we dive deep into understanding triggers, why they surface, and how to meet them with grace and self-compassion instead of shame. You’ll learn why triggers are not the enemy but powerful messengers from your nervous system, guiding you to the places that need healing most.

I’ll walk you through a brand-new somatic exercise called “The Safe Anchor”—a grounding practice designed to calm your body, stop the emotional spiral, and help you respond rather than react. Whether you’ve been navigating relationship triggers, unresolved trauma, or daily stress, this episode will give you practical tools to shift from survival mode into safety and presence.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

Why your triggers aren’t a sign of weakness but a signal of where healing is needed

How to recognize the “bruise” underneath the reaction

A step-by-step somatic practice to anchor yourself during triggered moments

How to meet your nervous system with compassion and curiosity
