How To Manage Our Trauma, Triggers, And Interpretations With Nick McGowan
“If we get to the core of it and figure out what happened with that trauma and process through that trauma, then you’ll start to see that the trigger will either have a lot less weight to it because you’re not giving it as many interpretations if any at all.”
In this episode, Nick dives into the concepts of traumas, triggers, and interpretations, exploring their impact on our lives, and emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and processing traumas to gain a deeper understanding of triggers and interpretations.
What to listen for:
“Traumas come in all shapes and all sizes, and what happens from those traumas and those situations will make our body have a reaction to it. Most times, almost all of the time, that body reaction is going to happen before you mentally react or before you can say anything. It’s just a jarring thing that happens where your body goes into a fight, flight, or freeze.”
“Trauma is going to move you or freeze you no matter what you want to do. Now, you can do something with it after the fact, but the body’s reaction is still going to happen the way that it’s going to happen.”
“Being self-aware, which is a beautiful thing and also a fucking pain in the ass at times. It’s like you can’t not see the things once you’re really self-aware. When I see that my triggers are starting to come up, I can see the different experiences that have stacked upon themselves.”
