What Emotionally Healthy Men Do When They Get Triggered

Triggers happen. They don’t just suddenly stop showing up, but we can stop letting them run our relationships. In this episode, I talk about what a trigger really is, why your body can react before your mind can think, and how old experiences like abandonment, criticism, loss, or unpredictability can show up as defensiveness, shutdown, or anger in the present.I share my own journey of how childhood trauma shaped my reactions in relationships and why getting help changed everything. Then I tell "Keith's" story. His biggest trigger was being told what to do.  When he finally connected the dots between his controlling mother and how he reacted in relationships, it made all the difference.From there, I offer the acronym PATH you can use today to help you when you get emotionally triggered... and you will be triggered. We ALL do!
