Knowing our triggers helps us to unlock a key aspect of our mental wellness. When we understand what triggers are and familiarize ourselves with how they show up in our lives and in others we are able to shift to healthier thoughts, regulate our emotions, and live an engaged life. This important self-knowledge can also aid us in veering from danger, communicating our needs, and fostering healthier relationships. In this episode, Dr. Shainna, licensed mental health counselor, educator, advocate and author of the newly released book Designing Healthy Boundaries helps us to understand key influences on our behavior, how triggers form, and explore practical activities to cultivate mental well-being.
