What if you were never broken to begin with?
This is where it starts. In the very first episode of Triggered & True, emotional health consultant Laura Duncan and co-host Brian Freise introduce the Compassion Method™ — a process for understanding your emotional triggers, healing shame, and reconnecting with your true self. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted from trying to fix yourself, this episode is the beginning of your journey to finding true rest.
Laura shares how the method was born — from her own story of grief and loss, to friends gathered in her living room, to grown men "snot crying" in coffee shops as the walls came down. Brian, a client of two years turned co-host, explains why he came in feeling broken and left feeling empowered. Together they unpack what the show's name really means: you have to walk through your triggered self to reach your true self.
In this episode:
🔹 Why "you don't need to be fixed" is the first thing Laura tells everyone who sits across from her
🔹 What the Compassion Method is — and why Laura is a life consultant, not a therapist or life coach
🔹 How shame wires the brain for fight-or-flight — and why willpower can't reach the pain underneath
🔹 Where faith fits in — and why the method works just as powerfully for those who don't share it
🔹 The goal beneath it all: healing that isn't becoming someone new, but returning to who you've always been
