We get triggered. We attack or withdraw. We lose connection.

So often it happens in a split second, outside of our awareness.

But what if we could catch the triggers as they happen more often? What if we could pause and notice that we are about to launch into an angry outburst or withdraw into our shell? What if we could choose to stay connected in those stormy moments?

Getting triggered is part of being in a close relationship, so we don’t have a choice if we will get triggered by our children, partners, siblings, or parents. Triggers are part of the fabric of all those relationships.

We can choose how we respond when we are triggered, at least some of the time. We can develop a closer relationship with those triggers so that we can notice them as they arise and treat them as a sign to slow down and draw closer to one another, rather than attack or withdraw.

If you would like to explore this further, join our workshop, Deepening connection in our relationships.

We will combine discussion, yoga, meditation and breathwork to create a real-time opportunity to observe the triggers as they come up, work through them, and see what it is like to approach the triggering situation from a calmer, more connected place.

The workshop will be facilitated by Becki Moore and Una Archer.
