Summary

Being triggered is different than being uncomfortable or annoyed. When we are truly triggered, we are brought to a place in the past when we were traumatized in some way (Big or little t) and we lose ability to control our reactions. Although triggers are normal and nothing to be ashamed of, the more awareness we practice around them the more freedom we have to affect our responses to life. No one wants to be a reacting machine. We want space to have control over the one thing we have control over in this life: our own behavior. This starts by being aware of our triggers, why we have them, and what to do in order to unmask and see them. Join me for a great discussion on triggers, partially first aired last summer as part of the summer series. I am learning new things about myself all the time, and I Invite you to do the same.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Cure for Chronic Pain Podcast with me, Nicole Sachs.
0:07.0	You are here.
0:14.0	Hello my friends, how are you today?
0:16.2	It is Nicole and you have reached my podcast, the Cure for Chronic Pain with me, Nicole Sachs.
0:22.2	Welcome to it.
0:23.7	Happy to be here with you today.
0:26.0	So as we move through the spring and we are approaching the summer season when we're
0:33.1	going to be changing our schedules, some of us who have children and have kids home from
0:38.1	school or some people travel in the summer, what have you?
0:42.5	I am using this week to revisit one of the most important topics in not only mind body medicine
0:51.9	but in mental and emotional health and in trauma informed conversations and that is the

1:12.5	because triggers are times where we lose control and a sense of agency around our behavior.
1:23.2	Because in the midst of a trigger, we are no longer in that physical moment in the present.
1:29.7	We're brought back to something, whether it's childhood or a former abusive relationship
1:35.0	or a former friendship or something that was important in creating our personality and our
1:43.1	reactions to life.
1:44.1	We're brought back to a space that takes us so out of the moment that we don't have choices
1:53.1	of how we respond and we end up either lashing out or shutting down or enacting old patterns
