What this practice does

Triggers can feel overwhelming, confusing, or disproportionate to the situation at hand. Often, they are connected to unresolved emotional pain from childhood or relational experiences. This practice guides you to notice your triggers as they arise, to explore their emotional roots, and to begin integrating the parts of yourself that were once left behind.

By working with triggers somatically and with compassion, the exercise supports healing at the root rather than managing symptoms.

• Acknowledge and feel suppressed emotions safely

• Support integration of wounded or dissociated parts
