In this episode of the Luke Adler Healing Podcast, Dr. Luke Adler and Relationship Expert Ryan Ginn unpack why you get so triggered in relationships—and how to turn those moments into deeper connection instead of distance. They explain how reactivity comes from primitive parts of the brain that are designed to protect you, not punish you, and why feeling defensive, shut down, or explosive is actually a normal part of the human condition.
You’ll learn simple tools to notice your reactions in real time, express them without causing harm, and move through them with more compassion, empathy, and emotional maturity. By the end of the episode, you’ll see your reactivity not as a flaw to fix, but as a powerful doorway to healing, intimacy, and personal growth.
