Have you ever found yourself reacting in ways that didn't make sense, then wondered, "Why did that affect me so deeply?" The answer may not be the moment itself. It may be the unresolved trauma beneath it.

In this powerful episode, Coach Tammy Nicole sits down with Darsha D. Clark, Licensed Professional Counselor, relationship expert, speaker, and author of Adventures in Love, to unpack the connection between trauma and emotional triggers. Together, they explore how past experiences silently shape our present reactions, influence our relationships, and impact the way we see ourselves.

With nearly three decades of experience in the mental health field, Darsha shares practical insights on recognizing emotional triggers, developing greater self-awareness, setting healthy boundaries, and choosing healing over survival patterns. She reminds us that while hurt people often hurt people, healing people change generations.

If you've ever felt like your emotions take over before you can think, or you've struggled to understand why certain situations leave you feeling overwhelmed, rejected, or defensive, this conversation will help you connect the dots and begin responding with intention instead of reacting from old wounds.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• What emotional triggers really are and where they come from.
• How unresolved trauma influences everyday reactions.
• Why self-awareness is the foundation of healing.
• Practical strategies for managing emotional triggers in relationships.
• How healing your past creates healthier connections with yourself and others.
