In this episode, Shelley Treacher explains what being “triggered” really means and why our emotional reactions often link back to experiences of rejection or abandonment.
You’ll learn how triggers relate to comfort eating, defensiveness, and codependency, how the nervous system responds through fight, flight, freeze or fawn, and how to start responding to your emotions with understanding and compassion instead of avoidance.

How you can tackle social anxiety, and start to recover?
We’ve been challenged in isolation  like never before! But, we need other people to feel OK in everyday life, and to heal.
