S3E61: Untangling Emotions: A Mama's Guide to Identifying Trauma Triggers

As a mama, have you ever felt the weight of past trauma casting a shadow over even the joyful moments with your little ones? The emotional turmoil can leave you grappling to understand your triggers, struggling to find that peaceful presence you so desperately crave. But what if you could finally break free from that grip and reclaim your strength?

In this candid conversation, Emily gets real about her personal journey learning to regulate her nervous system amidst the chaos of colic, acid reflux, and the constant noise of young children. Despite the overwhelm, she found a path to healing by tuning into her body's signals and uncovering the root memories fueling her triggers in the present. You'll gain insight into:

• Developing emotional awareness by creating a safe space to feel your feelings without judgment
• Identifying your unique emotional triggers and the questions to ask for reframing
• Practical first steps to begin your journey of nervous system healing

As Emily shares, the numbing of difficult emotions in childhood created a disconnection from herself. But by turning inward with curiosity, not condemnation, she began to recognize how past trauma was manifesting physically. "We have the choice, the task of learning how to regulate our emotions...so our kids don't pick up our habits of blowing up [or] stuffing emotions."

Healing your triggers is about more than just feeling better in the moment. It's about breaking the cycle for the next generation by modeling emotional regulation. It's building the skills to respond from a place of peaceful presence, not reactivity. And it's the inspiration that despite the tangles of the past, a joyful, connected mamahood is possible when you do the inner work.
