E281: Why Trauma Triggers Us: The Reactive Mind, Guest Josie Gibson

In this episode of the Adult Child of Dysfunction podcast, Tammy Vincent sits down with Josie Gibson to explore the ideas behind Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health and how understanding the mind can help people navigate trauma, emotional triggers, and personal growth.Josie shares how discovering Dianetics as a teenager helped her make sense of intrusive thoughts, emotional reactions, and the patterns that often develop from past experiences. Central to the conversation is the concept of the reactive mind—the part of the subconscious that stores painful memories and emotional responses that can influence our behavior without us even realizing it.Throughout the conversation, Tammy and Josie discuss how unresolved experiences and past trauma can shape the way people respond to situations in the present, and why bringing awareness to these patterns can be a powerful step toward emotional healing and mental clarity.Listeners will gain insight into how understanding the subconscious mind may help individuals recognize triggers, process past experiences, and develop healthier emotional responses.If you’re curious about the concepts discussed in this episode, you can explore more here:Learn more about Dianetics:https://www.dianetics.orgWhere to find the book:Amazon – https://www.amazon.comBarnes & Noble – https://www.barnesandnoble.comThis episode invites listeners to reflect on how past experiences shape our reactions—and how greater awareness of the mind can open the door to personal growth and healing.Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!
