TRIGGERED! When you have an emotional fl...

JOSEPHINE HARDMAN, PHD
About this episode

Welcome back to TRIGGERED! New year, new triggers for us to deal with. 

In this episode, I talk about the experience of having an emotional flashback. This is when something (or someone) triggers you to regress to a feeling or emotional state from the past, which could be from an earlier age in your current lifetime or even a past life. Topics include:

  • what is an emotional flashback?
  • common triggers that set off an emotional flashback
  • signs & symptoms that you're experiencing an emotional flashback
  • a 3-step process to support yourself and move through an emotional flashback

In this episode, I mention a book by Pete Walker, Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving. I highly recommend this book if you want to explore childhood trauma, complex PTSD, and emotional flashbacks in more depth.
