Eps 78 - I'm Triggered, but Am I Being Too Sensitive or Is This Actually Toxic?

In this episode of the Re-MIND Podcast, Dr. Ashleigh Moreland and co-host David Masterton dive deep into one of the most common questions we face when emotions run high: "Am I overreacting, or is this situation truly toxic?" Join us as we explore the fine line between being triggered by our own wounds and recognizing genuinely harmful, or "acid," behaviours from others. We’ll break down how to distinguish between reactions rooted in past trauma and those sparked by toxic actions like gaslighting, manipulation, and emotional blackmail. We’ll also discuss the importance of self-responsibility without falling into victim-blaming and share practical ways to set healthy boundaries when faced with controlling, neglectful, or abusive behaviours. By the end of this episode, you'll learn how to tell whether you're being "too sensitive" or if it's time to take a stand and protect your well-being. Whether you’re navigating difficult relationships or simply trying to understand your emotional triggers, this episode offers valuable insights into building resilience and responding rather than reacting.
