Survival Nick's Take on 'Triggered': Language and Mental Health

Being triggered means that I feel an emotional response. I'm reminded of trauma that has stolen loved ones away from me, and through this I am changed.
Ever feel like the word 'triggered' is tossed around too casually? Survival Nick certainly does. In this episode, he sits on his porch and shares his candid thoughts on how the term 'triggered' has become a loaded word in our culture. Nick doesn't just rant; he digs into the origins of the term and its impact on mental health and recovery. With personal anecdotes and a bit of humor, he explains why he prefers to use 'activated' instead.
Nick believes words have power, and he's all about holding ourselves accountable for what we say. He also touches on the importance of hope and wellness in the recovery journey. If you're curious about how language shapes our mental health, this episode is a must-listen. Nick's blend of personal experience and professional insight offers a fresh perspective that's both engaging and thought-provoking.
