Manage Your Triggers: Survive and Thrive After Divorce with Matt Orzech
Welcome to the Shift with Intention podcast with today's guest Matt Orzech, a divorce recovery specialist who is uniquely qualified as a self-help addict, real estate junkie, and recovering divorce attorney.
Matt shares the sheer difficulty of living through a divorce and his own self-awareness of the breakthroughs that he experienced. He talks about the self-work that he needed to do, as well as the central role of God in helping him survive the trials and tribulations of this difficult time.
He looks back on the things that he had been blind to in his former relationship and emphasizes the importance of breathing and staying present during tough times. He shares what he learned about triggers and how the thought that precedes the emotion is what causes suffering, not the trigger itself.
HIGHLIGHT QUOTES
A trigger will cause a thought that causes an emotion - Matt: "Our thoughts, the thought is what really creates the emotion, and the trigger... and the trigger's the trigger and then there's a thought that makes it the bad thing. Like I said, the purple eyes thing. Also, and then there's the thought that you go, God, there must be something wrong with my eyes that they look purple."
"There's something wrong with me. That's where the suffering comes from. It doesn't come from the kid or your friend whoever says whatever to you. The suffering truly comes from our own thought whatever that thing was."
Breathing creates space between you and your triggers - Matt: "I'm huge about breathing. Breathe. And deeply. Go watch videos on breathing and it doesn't have to be any focused breath work, whatever, great if you do, but just breathe because breath is what will help you create space from those triggers. So breathing is huge."
"And then I would say, I think number 2, remember the truth. And there are lots of truths but remember the truth, and the truth about you, the truth about life, the truth about what you do have that have had, who has been there, remind yourself of the truth."
