Back to EpisodesEP 254: Identifying Your Triggers as a Parent with a History of Trauma: Part 5 of 6
Description
If you’re parenting a child with a vulnerable nervous system when you have your own history of trauma, you know that sometimes your reaction isn’t really about what’s happening in front of you; it’s about what’s happened before. In this episode, we’re talking about how to gently uncover what might be going on when you have a huge stress response to a stressor that didn’t quite need an attack-level watchdog response.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What a trigger actually is (and why it doesn’t feel like one in the moment)
- How to tell if your nervous system is reacting to now… or something older
- A simple step-by-step process to uncover and care for the belief driving your reaction
If you’re ready to go deeper into this work, the full Trigger Hunting masterclass is inside The Club.
