Parenting Reflections: How to Deal When You’re Super Triggered: Here’s How I Recovered From a Tough Parenting Moment & Used It to Build Emotion Regulation
We all have those moments—something small happens, and suddenly, we’re way more upset than we “should” be. For me, it was a dirty towel placed back in the clean pile, and I couldn’t shake the frustration. Even though I knew it wasn’t really about the towel, I felt stuck in my reaction, and it was pulling me away from the kind of parent I want to be.
In this episode, I’m sharing what happened, why little things can feel so triggering, and what I did to reset (spoiler: it wasn’t just taking deep breaths). If you’ve ever found yourself spiraling over something that seems minor, you’re not alone.
Parenting sensitive kids comes with big emotions—ours included. But when we understand our triggers and give ourselves space to regroup, we can show up the way we truly want to. Next time you’re feeling frustrated, try these simple shifts to reset, reconnect, and show up as the parent you want to be.
