SUBSCRIBE TO THE SOUL HORIZON: Apple Podcasts (iTunes) | Spotify | Amazon Music | iHeartRadio | Stitcher | Google Podcasts


Triggers have gotten a bad rap in recent times.

We're terrified of being triggered and we're scared of triggering others.

We tiptoe across eggshells in our interactions. In return, we expect others to do the same. To mind themselves to avoid ruffling our feathers or crushing those fragile eggshells that surround our deepest wounds.

In this episode, we flip this perception—the one that vilifies triggers—on its head.

We'll explore why welcoming emotional triggers is a necessary step in the process of deep healing. And how the things and people that trigger us serve as messengers and as tour guides, leading us to the areas that need to be healed.
