Do you find yourself reacting to something strong and wonder how you got there? Maybe you emotionally eat, react quickly to your spouse, or get irritated for seemingly no season. These could be emotional triggers. In this episode, you will learn how to identify when you get triggered, or emotionally heightened from people and situations. If we continue to live without self-awareness of triggers, we can develop PTSD – post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorders, eating disorders and substance abuse disorders. In this episode, you will gain an ability to be more self-aware and know what to do in these situations. God has a plan for your life, and He wants you completely free, even if you get triggered. To get there, we need to let Him come in and show us what we don’t see.

What we need to answer when we are triggered:

What do you need?
What are you feeling?
What are your thoughts?
What do you feel in your body?
