In today’s episode, we are talking about trigger words and while we are excited to dig into this, it is also a very tough subject and sometimes even taboo. Everyone who goes through a loss or something traumatic, has trigger words- words that can take us back to that memory, that moment, that loss. And it can hurt so deeply and so badly. But we want you to remember that people who say these words, do not mean to cause intentional harm. They don’t know how this can hurt because they have not endured the loss.

We will talk through our trigger words and what feelings they bring up for us. We also talk about how we deal with it. It is important that you know you are not alone if you have been hurt by someone’s words. It is part of dealing with grief because we all already feel the hurt so the words just intensify our pain. It is normal and okay but it helps to recognize it so you can deal with it and move on.

In this episode, you will hear:
-Why trigger words hurt and why they are not meant to cause intentional harm
-What our trigger words are and how we deal with them
-How you are not alone in hurting and how you can help others understand your trigger words
