Summary

Sometimes when we get upset, we don't know entirely why because what we're upset over seems so insignificant. But a lot of the time, the reason we're upset is because things that we've struggled with in the past resurface. In today's episode, I talk about why I think it's important to understand why things trigger you the way they do. I talk about my experience with being bullied over how I smell, growing up with parents who fought, being told I eat too much, anxiety over being late, friends mistreating me, and managing others emotions.

0:00.0	Hi besties. Welcome back to Trinidad to Care or if you're new here, welcome to
0:20.3	Trinidad to Care. My name is Ashley.
0:22.6	Thanks for clicking on today's episode and hanging out with me today. So as a lot of you know,
0:28.7	I am a pretty emotional person, which is totally okay. I own it. But I've come to realize
0:36.5	that I'm triggered by a lot of things, especially things from
0:42.8	my past. I've come to realize that who I am today is based off things that I've gone through
0:51.2	or things that I've struggled with.
0:54.5	And like, it's like obviously, duh, you know, you wouldn't be who you are today
0:59.4	without everything you've been through good or bad.
1:02.8	But a lot of what I do and the way I react to things is directly connected to my past. I thought it would be interesting to talk about it.
1:14.8	Like I said, there's good and bad things, but today I want to focus on the negative things
1:21.5	because I think it would be good for me to talk through and some of you might be able to relate to it so
1:29.5	it might actually help you. The reason I think it's important to make the correlation between
1:34.7	who you are now and the things that you've gone through is so you have clarity to why things
1:41.8	affect you the way that they do. Rather than being upset over something
1:46.7	and having no idea why it made you feel the way it did, you're able to connect it to something
1:53.6	which validates your feelings and it makes it easier to digest. Instead of thinking,
2:00.7	oh my God, why am I so worked up over this? Why am I
2:03.9	feeling like this? It's not that big of a deal. I'm being overdramatic. I need to get a grip.
2:10.3	It's like, no, this thing resembles something that happened to me that I clearly struggled with and it's bringing up feelings.
2:20.9	It's bringing up things that I felt when that thing did happen to me.
2:26.2	Not only is it helpful for you, but it also helps people around you understand what's happening
