"Why Am I So Triggered?" How To Understand Your Triggers & Turn Them Into Teachers


Listen Later

Being triggered... sucks. A LOT. 

It feels like your whole body gets hijacked in an instant, as if an old wound you didn’t know was still there suddenly grabs the wheel and convinces you you’re not safe.

And if you've been in situations lately that have sent you down an anxiety spiral, you're not alone friend. 

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a very real, very human moment that pushed me right up against the edge of my comfort zone. The kind of moments where your nervous system feels like it’s sprinting a marathon, your ego is giving you terrible advice, and your brain decides to resurrect a bunch of old insecurities you thought you buried years ago.

Fun times.

But here’s the truth I want you to walk away with.

 Your triggers are not punishments. They’re invitations.

They’re here to help you see the thoughts, beliefs, and survival patterns that are still running the show… so you can finally let them go.

Inside this episode, we get into:

  • Why you get triggered by things you swear you’ve already worked through
  • How your nervous system responds to fear, food, body image, social situations and feeling “not good enough
  • The real reason your ego tells you to stay home, avoid the event, cancel the dinner and shrink your world
  • How to pause, regulate, and shift your perspective when you’re spiraling
  • Why your healing and identity expansion will ALWAYS bring up discomfort
  • How to turn triggering moments into proof of your growth instead of evidence you’re broken
  • What it actually looks like to let go of control so you can cultivate self trust and emotional regulation
  • How this relates to intuitive eating, body image healing and breaking out of old food patterns

This is the episode I wish I had 10 years ago when I felt like every difficult emotion meant I was “failing.”

You’ll leave with a whole new way of seeing your triggers… and a lot more compassion for the parts of you that are still learning to feel safe.

If this episode resonates, send it to someone in your life who’s also on a healing journey, or message me on Instagram so we can chat about it. I love hearing what hits home for you.
