In this episode of My Edge of Clarity, Sheetal and Sheeba explore what happens when we become chronically triggered — not from one big event, but from the slow accumulation of stress, expectations, comparisons, and unexamined stories about ourselves.
They unpack how triggers show up in everyday life — snapping at small things, spiraling into anxiety, or feeling judged, unseen, or unsafe — and reveal that our reactions often reflect deeper themes of identity, worth, safety, and belonging.
The hosts reframe triggers as signals, not flaws, connecting chronic reactivity to nervous system overload, burnout, and living in near-constant fight-or-flight. They guide listeners on how to notice triggers without judgment and respond thoughtfully, using the Three Ps: Pause, Prioritize, and Presence, illustrated with a personal story that shows awareness can transform tension into connection.
The episode closes with a reminder: you are not broken — your triggers are invitations to deeper understanding and steadiness.
