Episode 66: Why We React the Way We Do

In this episode, Laura explores triggers and transference — why do we get triggered and what can we do about it? Not just on the yoga mat, but in everyday life, relationships, parenting, and work. Using yoga philosophy, psychology, and lived experience, we unpack why certain people and situations activate us so deeply, how early experiences shape our sense of worth, and why love can start to feel conditional. We look at self-actualisation, nervous system responses, and how healing happens when we move from external validation to internal authority. This episode is an invitation to meet your triggers with curiosity rather than shame, and to see relationships as powerful opportunities for awareness, growth, and repair.
