#43: How Do I Show My Spouse That I've Changed? Triggers VS Intrusive Thoughts?

Q1: "How do I show my spouse my change of heart if we are living separated at the moment? How do I stop thinking about worse case scenario that she will leave me before she is able to see real change?" Q2: "Is there a difference between being triggered and just being reminded of past events? For example, driving down a road or near a place where I know my husband acted out will remind me of the situation I'm in, but is that a trigger that needs to be managed or just a thought that can be dismissed? I usually just dismiss the thought and try to think of something else, but the thought comes EVERY time I'm on that road." We would love to have you as a guest on the podcast.
