The Mirror: How Seeing Yourself Dissolves Your Triggers #012

from Identity Matters · host Dr. Kathleen Perry

In this episode of Identity Matters, I share a simple practice I call “the mirror,” which is an exercise for dissolving triggers by recognizing that what activates me in others reflects something in me.How do the differences between jealousy (fear of losing what I have) and envy (wanting what someone else has) play into this, and how can naming envy reduce shame?You’ll see that the “golden mirror” of envy is recognition without ownership, but the harder mirror of irritation and judgment is where finding even a tiny shared version in yourself softens reactivity and increases forgiveness.Sign up for my newsletter: https://drkathleenperry.activehosted.com/f/7
