Episode Pointers:
It’s our natural instinct to run from triggers. We often see them as a bad thing.
The thing I believe about triggers, is that it’s your body’s way of letting you know that there’s some healing work that can be done around that. It’s letting you know that there is a layer there that can be worked through.
When you trigger your trauma over and over, it just creates the pattern of trauma deeper in your body.
When you allow yourself to notice your triggers, that’s when you can begin to notice where you can do work in your grief and life.
Your triggers can show you what you can dive into in your healing work, and it’s amazing how eventually those things don’t trigger you in the same way.
When you can open up to your triggers and get curious about what lies underneath, so much can change for you. You are able to live your life fully and be able to meet your fears, anxieties, and worries where they are, without running.
If you want to dive deeper and have a coach who understands grief, and triggers, and what it’s like to be walking with child loss grief, message me at hello@meganhillukka.com and we can chat about how I can help you on your grief journey.
If you want more tools to help you, I have a workshop called Stop Talking Start Feeling, it’s a workshop that dives into emotions, what they are, and how you can begin to feel and process them and get them out of your body instead of stuffing them down. It also goes specifically into processing and releasing the emotions of guilt and sadness. You can get access to this workshop and all the extra things I have in there for only $27. Go to www.stoptalkingstartfeeling.com to check it out.
