Triggers Are a Myth

Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett's neuroscience proves that emotions are predictions, not reactions. When you feel triggered, your brain accesses your childhood emotional blueprint to predict danger — not respond to the present moment. Kenny Weiss explains how to use the Emotional Authenticity Method to rewrite these predictions at their root. Are you exhausted from constantly feeling "triggered" and trying to manage and regulate your emotional environment so you don't feel overwhelmed, anxious, or angry? What if everything you've been taught about being triggered is scientifically false? In this video, we dive into the groundbreaking neuroscience of Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett to reveal why your emotions are actually predictions, not reactions. When you feel "triggered," you aren't actually reacting to your partner or your boss in the present moment. Your brain is accessing your childhood emotional blueprint and running outdated Emotional Definitions to predict danger. I break down exactly how you formed these definitions, how they trap you in the Worst-Day Cycle, and why trying to use coping skills is like trying to steer out of a deep, icy emotional sled track halfway down the hill. Finally, I will walk you through my 4-step Emotional Authenticity Method so you can activate metacognition, trace your emotions back to their roots, and rewrite your emotional blueprint neural pathways for good. You are not a victim of your triggers. You are just running outdated software. ⏱️ CHAPTERS / TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - The Myth of Being "Triggered" 1:20 - The New Neuroscience: Emotions are Predictions 2:40 - Emotional Definitions & The Worst-Day Cycle™ 14:10 - The Sled Track Metaphor (Why You Feel Stuck) 17:45 - The Emotional Authenticity Method™ (4 Steps to Heal) 28:20 - Take Your Power Back (Free AI Coaching & Assessment) 🕺🏼SCHEDULE A SESSION: https://calendly.com/kennyweiss/single-session-350 📣 CLIENT REVIEWS: https://bit.ly/30zFTBN 📚 Purchase MY NEW BOOK: Your Journey To Being Yourself; https://amzn.to/3U1IGNZ 📚 MY FIRST BOOK: 'Your Journey To Success': https://amzn.to/3nfVphr 🌍 My Website: https://www.kennyweiss.net 🎓ONLINE MASTERCLASSES: https://thegreatnessu.com/courses 🕺CONNECT WITH ME: Heal The Hurt Weekly Podcast 🎙https://spoti.fi/46FSmAj Instagram 📸 @kennyweiss.kw Facebook 👥 https://www.facebook.com/kennyweiss.net Newsletter 💌 https://geni.us/kennyweissnewsletter
