When you learn how to be aware of your thoughts and that not every thought is your own, you also learn that this thought is coming to try and take me in a direction I don't really go.
Ever feel like you're on a rollercoaster, not knowing when the next dip will come? In this insightful episode of 'The Recovering Reality Podcast', Life and Recovery Coach Erik Frederickson sheds light on the often-misunderstood concept of triggers.

He dives into the power of self-awareness and the importance of understanding your thoughts and emotions. Erik doesn't just stop at theory; he offers practical tools to help you deal with triggers. One of his key strategies is 'playing the tape all the way through', a technique that encourages you to think about the long-term consequences of giving in to a trigger.
He also stresses the importance of focusing on the bigger picture and not getting bogged down by momentary setbacks. But it’s not just about individual effort. Erik highlights the vital role of having a strong support system. Whether it's friends, family, or a community group, having people to lean on can make all the difference. And for those who find strength in faith, Erik discusses how spirituality can be a powerful ally in your recovery journey.
This episode is a blend of practical advice and heartfelt encouragement, reminding you that recovery is not just possible but sustainable. So if you're looking for ways to understand and conquer your triggers, this episode is a must-listen.
