Healing Emotional Triggers: What They Really Mean
A trigger is not a sign of weakness — it’s a sign of unmet needs.
Triggers Are Teachers
They show you:
Where you still hurt
What you still fear
What you still avoid
What you still believe about yourself
How to Heal Triggers
Pause
Breathe
Name the emotion
Ask: “What does my inner child need right now?”
Respond with compassion
Triggers are invitations to heal.

Your inner child is the source of:
Imagination

Magic

Ways to Reconnect

Joy is not childish — it’s sacred.
