Triggers: If it's hysterical, it's historical (David Richo)

Why does a small comment from your boss ruin your entire weekend? Why does an unwashed dish make you feel unloved? David Richo, a psychotherapist and teacher, teaches us a fundamental truth: When our reaction is disproportionate to the event, we aren't reacting to the present—we are reliving the past.In today's 5-minute briefing on "Triggers," we explore the anatomy of emotional reactivity. Discover the difference between a Cause (what happened now) and a Trigger (what it reminds you of), and learn how to spot the moment your inner child has hijacked the steering wheel.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/momentum-your-daily-edge-in-leadership--6706012/support.Enjoyed this 5-minute briefing?The full, 20-minute deep dive on this book is waiting for you in our premium feed.Unlock the masterclass to get every key lesson, framework, and actionable insight.🚀 Subscribe to Momentum Premium here!
