Childless And Moving Onward

Navigating the Storm: Managing Triggers in a Childless-Not-By-Choice Journey


Listen Later

We hear about triggers all the time, but what are they really and how can we effectively manage our responses to them? In this episode, we explore effective strategies for dealing with unavoidable emotional triggers. We also discuss what are some common triggers that women who are childless not by choice face. 

One important way to manage triggers is to set both emotional and physical boundaries. It’s okay to refrain from certain social situations that may cause you deep pain. The approach I suggest is about managing and not avoiding triggers to protect your emotional well-being.

Key Episode Takeaways:

  • A trigger is anything that evokes a strong emotional response.
  • We can’t avoid triggers, but there are ways we can prepare for them.
  • Boundaries are an important part of managing triggers.
  • Join the Support Group.
