EP 223: What a Trigger REALLY Is

Have you ever freaked out at your child and then later thought, “Where did that come from?” Yup, that’s being triggered!
In this episode, we’ll unpack the neuroscience behind why we get triggered, what memory processing has to do with it, and how to find your way back to presence and connection.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• The anatomy of a trigger
• What’s actually happening in your brain when the past takes over the present
• What to do next- how to help your owl brain come back and parent in the here-and-now
