Feeling triggered? Here's why that's a good thing.

Untethered with Jen Liss

Can feeling triggered be a good thing?
What if these moments of emotional hijacking aren't our adversaries, but rather, opportunities for lessons, growth and chances to heal?
Join me for this Thursday Thread where I unpack the ways in which triggers can potentially be harnessed as catalysts for empowerment. In the episode with Glenn Cohen on Tuesday, we dissected the nuances of neurological wounding and the seemingly invisible threads that connect our past experiences to our current habits and beliefs. In this episode, I pull out a thread specifically in regard to triggers.
In my own life, and in my work, I have seen how turning inward toward a moment of emotional discomfort can produce new pathways to learning and development. We have to feel to heal, after all!
This conversation doesn't stop at mere understanding — learning from our triggers is about taking actionable steps toward transformation. Listen in as I share a moment from my own childhood that impacted my ability to use my voice, and how podcasting and breathwork have supported me in turning inward to unleash my gifts.
I hope this episode inspires you to embrace your triggers, using modalities like coaching, therapy, breathwork, meditation, or other therapeutic avenues to support you in working with your nervous system's patterns.
This episode isn't about coping; it's about thriving through the very triggers that once held us captive.
