Summary

This episode of TRIGGERED! is about those moments when the "same old" issue shows up in your life... yet again. This could be an issue or pattern (or even physical symptom) you've faced many times before. Sometimes, it feels like it goes into "remission" or like you've finally moved beyond it, but then it pops up again when you least expect it. Gah! Having a human experience can be so tough.

I offer some real talk on how to face these old demons again when they pop up. The major focus of the episode is on how to move through the intense feelings that can come up in these moments: shame, anger, frustration, hopelessness, discouragement, sometimes even despair. 

I also lay out 4 specific suggestions for helping yourself face the same old issue, pattern, or symptom more compassionately and productively when it does show up.

You know when you keep hitting up against the same old issue or pattern, when you think you're

0:51.9

finally done with it and then it shows up in your life again.

0:56.6

Yup, I've been there too and we got to take a deep breath with this one because it can be

1:01.7

really triggering. And this is what we're covering together today. What can you do when you

1:07.6

face up against an old, a very old and repeating issue in your life?

1:13.4

So let me give you some concrete examples. So we both know what we're dealing with here,

1:18.7

what we're talking about. By a very old and repeating issue in your life, I mean something like

1:24.9

a pattern of using sugar, alcohol, or any other substance to escape reality

1:30.7

and soothe yourself. Maybe a pattern of saying that you're going to take better care of yourself

1:37.5

by drinking more water and doing yoga every day, which you can keep up for, let's say, a month,

1:44.1

and then you fall back into

1:45.9

neglecting your body and not drinking enough water throughout the day. Could also be a repeating

1:51.8
