In this episode of What We’re Seeing, co-hosts Kimberley Moriarty and Franziska Köslin explore what really happens when something triggers us, whether it’s rejection, criticism, feeling misunderstood, or simply feeling “too much.”

What starts as a conversation about being told what to do turns into a deeper exploration of projection, childhood patterns, nervous system reactions, people-pleasing, and how easily we take on other people’s stories as our own.
