Summary

Today, I am delving into the concept of triggers and how they reflect our unconscious beliefs. I share my personal experience with a recent trigger and explain step-by-step how I processed and resolved it using the Adult Chair model. 

I demonstrate how identifying and integrating our unconscious parts can lead to emotional healing and self-awareness.

In this episode, I cover:

  • Understanding what emotional triggers are and how they show up

  • A personal story about navigating a triggering moment

  • An emotional breakthrough and steps toward healing

I'm very excited to you guys because today I am talking to you about how we resolve triggers.

0:57.5

And it's kind of a cool episode because I was really triggered, like massively triggered, and I worked my way through it. And I'm going to talk to you on today's show about how
