 Today is a personal story, but I think it's gonna help a lot of people. This is about how I got triggered recently and how I dealt with it. It was actually very exciting because I just finished part two of a schema therapy training course and I used my own trigger to help me apply what I've learned.

So dig in this is not therapy or medical advice, so always. See a licensed professional.

What Is Schema Therapy?

Self-Regulation in Real Time

Turning to Schema Therapy Tools

The Inner Child and the Core Wound

Understanding Modes in Action

Communicating the Trigger

@02:04.53 What Is Food Noise?

@03:19.38 How Does Food Noise Develop and What Keeps It Going?

@06:59.87 Why Do Some Medications Get Rid of Food Noise?

@12:21.98 Should We Be Trying to Eliminate Food Noise?

@16:38.23 What Does the Research Say—Can We Ever Truly Get Rid of Food Noise?
