When it comes to getting emotionally triggered, how do know when to lean into the discomfort or to walk away?
Not all triggers are bad.
Just because we are triggered, doesn't necessarily mean we should avoid a situation or a person. Sometimes care triggers deep wounds and the work is to stay—to lean in and feel the hurt and fear without running.
And, conversely, sometimes our nervous systems—our instincts, our guts—know that we are venturing into unsafe or toxic territory. Then moving away, putting up boundaries, even shutting down, is the sane, safe, and healthy thing to do.
But (especially if we have had experiences that have scrambled our instinctive intelligence), how do know the difference?
It’s a body thing!
