155. When You're The Trigger...

Getting Old Quickly

In Episode 155, Billy Donnelly had to confront the fact that sometimes you are the source of someone else's triggers. For all the talk about handling one's own triggers on the podcast, he's never had to encounter the idea that you might be responsible for the negative feelings of others born from past events. This week, he dives into that situation, discussing the feelings in him that then in turn had to work through. However, he also shared that the work he's done on his own approach to triggers in his life led to a better sense of understanding and empathy of what another was going through -- something he's not sure would have gone so smoothly in years past.
