Triggers + Responses: How Did You End Up Here? (Love Story)

We’ve all been there: one small moment in a relationship sets you off, and suddenly you’re in an emotional spiral wondering, “How did we end up here?”

In this Love Story episode, I’m sharing a real-life example of getting triggered, how it led me straight into the trap of my own thoughts, and what I’ve learned since about navigating those moments differently.

You’ll see how the Bible story of Peter sinking in the storm mirrors the way our triggers work, and I’ll give you two simple tools that can help you catch yourself sooner and choose a healthier response.

This conversation is for anyone who’s ever felt misunderstood, overreacted to something small, or wished they could hit “redo” after a tough moment in love.

The good news? Triggers don’t have to trap you. You can drop the thought before it drags you under.

Why triggers in relationships often aren’t about the circumstance, but the story we attach to it
How Peter’s sinking moment in Matthew 14 gives us a picture of what happens when we lose focus
