Summary
Have you ever found yourself thinking... "Why did I react like that?" Maybe someone didn't text you back. Maybe your boss gave you feedback. Maybe your partner used the wrong tone of voice. Logically, you know it shouldn't have affected you that much... Yet emotionally, it felt overwhelming. In this week's Tammy's Takes , we're building on my powerful conversation with David Dean Haskell , author of Wounded Angels and Inner Child Unleashed , who reminded us that our biggest emotional reactions often have very little to do with what's happening today. Today, I'm taking that idea one step further. Because your triggers aren't random. They're not proof that you're too sensitive. And they're certainly not evidence that you're broken. They're messages from a younger part of you that still remembers what it felt like to be rejected, criticized, abandoned, or unseen. In this episode you'll learn: ✔ Why emotional triggers often have nothing to do with the present moment ✔ The difference between today's event and yesterday's wound ✔ How childhood survival patterns shape adult reactions ✔ Why curiosity heals faster than self-judgment ✔ Three powerful questions to ask whenever you're triggered ✔ How to begin calming your nervous system instead of fighting it Healing isn't about never getting triggered again. Healing is learning to understand what your triggers have been trying to teach you all along. Ready to Go Deeper? If you're ready to stop reacting from survival mode and start responding from a place of calm, I'd love to help. 💜 Book a Complimentary Clarity & Calm Call https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/clarity-and-calm-call Curious how unresolved stress may still be showing up in your body? 💜 Experience a Complimentary AO Biofeedback Scan Demo https://calendly.com/tammyvi…
