Lesson Overview
1.7 – Understanding Emotional Triggers: Identify situations that spark strong reactions like anger, fear, or shame. Write down the thought you had one moment before the feeling. Trace the trigger to an old story or unmet need. Practice a short pause to breathe and check your assumptions. Replace extreme thoughts with balanced, evidence-based ones. Plan a calm response you can use when the trigger appears. Share your plan with a trusted person for accountability. Reduce exposure to avoidable triggers while you build skill. Celebrate small wins when you respond with control. Turn triggers into teachers that refine your identity.
