The Power of Recognizing Triggers

Ever notice how one look can send your whole body into panic long before you know why?

That’s not weakness.

That’s childhood training.

When I was a kid, there was a certain look on my dad’s face that meant “brace yourself.”

My brain learned it so well that years later, standing in a Quiznos of all places... I saw that same look on someone I loved… and my whole body reacted like danger was back.

It wasn’t my dad doing it.

He was gone.

My brain was doing it.

That’s how trauma works.

Your mind captures expressions, tones, and tiny cues… and stores them as survival alarms.

Then it replays them on anyone who accidentally resembles the past.

But here’s the hopeful part:

Once you understand the mechanics of your mind, you can defuse the old reactions.

You can update the emotional triggers your brain has been running since childhood.

You’re not broken.

You’re just trained.

And you can retrain it.

Follow for more ways to change the emotional programs running your life.
