Episode 3: How to Stop Being Triggered by Your Ex

You see his name on your phone. Your heart rate spikes. The rage arrives before you've even opened the message.

Sound familiar? This week on Divorce Awakening, Sam and Delia get into the one thing nobody warns you about β€” that your ex doesn't have to be in the same room to completely hijack your nervous system.

In this episode, you'll hear:

πŸ”₯ What "being triggered" actually means β€” and why your reaction often has nothing to do with what just happened

πŸ”₯ The wounded inner child explained (without the woo β€” well, mostly without the woo)

πŸ”₯ Whether someone can just be... a dick. And why it almost doesn't matter either way

πŸ”₯ Delia's trigger diary β€” the simple tool that helped her spot the patterns

πŸ”₯ Delia's full six-step Trigger Plan that lived on her bathroom wall and genuinely saved her from replying with "dick energy"

πŸ”₯ Why replying when triggered is the single worst thing you can do β€” and what to do instead

πŸ”₯ The question that changes everything when you're triggered beyond a point of return

If there's one episode to send to a friend who's deep in the trenches of a high-conflict co-parenting situation, this is it.

The power to change how you feel is yours. Not his. Yours.

🎧 Listen now β€” and maybe don't reply to that message just yet.
