If you’re parenting a child with a vulnerable nervous system when you have your own history of trauma, you know that sometimes your reaction isn’t really about what’s happening in front of you; it’s about what’s happened before. In this episode, we’re talking about how to gently uncover what might be going on when you have a huge stress response to a stressor that didn’t quite need an attack-level watchdog response.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What a trigger actually is (and why it doesn’t feel like one in the moment)
• How to tell if your nervous system is reacting to now… or something older
• A simple step-by-step process to uncover and care for the belief driving your reaction

If you’re ready to go deeper into this work, the full Trigger Hunting masterclass is inside The Club.

Resources mentioned in this podcast:

• Trauma, Memory, & Behavior: Part 1 {EP 90}
• What a Trigger REALLY Is {EP 223}
