When your partner gets triggered, what do you do?...\\xa0

#1: Do you react back, get defensive, and it triggers an argument?

#2: Or do you lovingly hold space and help them process what came up for them?

Don\\u2019t feel guilty if you fell into the first category, as that is where most people fall into.\\xa0

We weren\\u2019t taught how to recognize and SUPPORT someone while they\\u2019re triggered, especially in a romantic relationship. And instead of it bringing healing, they often create arguments and emotional distance.\\xa0

In this episode, we cover:

  1. How triggers can be a \\u201cgood\\u201d thing for the relationship
  2. The things you DON\\u2019T want to say or do when they are triggered
  3. The things that you DO want to say or do so that it is more constructive for your relationship
