Have you been battling with living with triggers for years or decades? Stuck not knowing how to overcome them or manage them or if it were even possible. 

Well, look no further. I’m thrilled to share with you a whole episode on triggers and how to overcome them.

Triggers can be the biggest barriers that hold people back from getting the help they need. 

Does anyone like triggers? No. 

But they are real, and the biggest misunderstanding is that they will never go away – that is false, because the trigger phase is a temporary phase of overwhelm which can be managed.

Triggers do not have to last a lifetime or decades. If you want your life back, you have to work for it, and you have to work hard.
