#9: 5 Steps to Working Through a Trigger

Stephanie Rigg
About this episode

In this episode, I'm diving into 5 steps to working through a trigger. I'll be discussing the importance of nervous system regulation to your healing journey, why talk therapy alone doesn't work, and what to do to self-soothe and self-regulate when you feel activated and overwhelmed so that you don't sabotage your relationship with unhealthy, fear-driven behaviours.
