For years, I didn’t even realize I was being triggered.

I thought I was just reacting like anyone would.

One moment, I’d be calmly sipping my tea — and the next, someone would say or do the wrong thing, and suddenly, it was like I’d been hijacked by a wild elephant.

Before I knew it, I was saying or doing things I’d later regret.It didn’t feel like a trigger—it just felt like... me.

Which honestly, made it even more confusing...

“If I had a huge reaction, it wasn’t because the situation was that big — it was because there was a raw spot within me. It’s like this: when you have an unhealed wound, even a gentle breeze can feel like a forest fire.” -  Dr. Kavetha Sun

But here’s what shifted everything:

Triggers aren’t problems. They’re invitations.

In this week’s episode of Heal Your Relationships, I’m diving into:

•  Where triggers actually come from (and why it’s not about the other person)
• A metaphor that will completely reframe how you think about reactivity
• Two simple shifts to help you begin healing from the inside out

If you’ve ever wondered why certain things hit you so hard—or how to stop reacting in ways you regret—this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.
