What Triggers Me - And why this isn't a problem (Part 2 of 4)

What Triggers Me - And why this isn't a problem (Part 2 of 4)

Do you ever find yourself more upset than a situation seems to warrant — and not quite sure why?

In this episode, I gently unpack what triggers are, why they’re not the problem, and how understanding your own patterns is one of the most compassionate things you can do for yourself.

You’ll be guided through a calming grounding practice and then into a reflective art journal activity called The Trailhead Page — a simple, visual way to map the layers beneath your emotional reactions, without judgment and without needing any art experience.

This is the second episode in a four-part series on emotional awareness and regulation. If you’d like to follow the full journey, look for Episodes 23–26.

Grab your journal and join me for a tender, honest episode that just might change how you see your most difficult moments.

In this episode you’ll:

  • Understand why triggers are information, not flaws
  • Be guided through a grounding practice to settle before exploring
  • Create The Trailhead Page — a visual map of what triggers you and what lives underneath
  • Discover why awareness itself — without fixing anything — is a powerful place to begin

This podcast is here to offer gentle ideas for art journaling and self-care. It's not therapy and it's not a replacement for professional support. If you're having a really hard time, I encourage you to reach out to a licensed therapist, counselor, or medical provider who can walk alongside you.
