Ever feel like you're walking on eggshells, just waiting for something to set you off? In this episode of the Recovery Rebirth Podcast, hosts Jillian and Dom tackle the tricky topic of triggers. They dive deep into how certain experiences can unexpectedly stir up old fears and emotions, often leading us back to unhealthy habits.
Jillian opens up about her struggles with codependency and love addiction, which she traces back to her fears of abandonment and rejection linked to her relationship with her mother. On the flip side, Dom shares his ongoing battle with financial insecurity, a fear rooted in his childhood watching his parents grapple with money issues. Even when things are going smoothly, the mere thought of potential financial trouble can send him spiraling.
The duo explains how these triggers activate our brain's fear center, leaving us feeling out of control and stuck in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses. But it's not all doom and gloom. Jillian and Dom also offer practical strategies for managing these emotional landmines. From grounding techniques to challenging irrational fears and using positive mantras, they share tools that can help you regain control.
This episode is packed with personal stories and actionable advice, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating the choppy waters of addiction recovery. Whether you're dealing with feelings of abandonment, rejection, or financial stress, you'll find valuable insights to help you cope and move forward.
