Overcoming Triggers and Trauma: Rewiring Your Mind for Happiness

 Welcome to another episode of One Hot Mess. In this episode, we delve into how to prevent fears, triggers, and past traumas from controlling your life. Understanding that the mind's primary function is to keep you alive, not necessarily happy, is crucial. Often, our brain gravitates toward familiar, albeit destructive, patterns that have ensured our survival in the past, causing extreme anxiety and unhealthy attachment styles.

We'll explore what triggers are, how they manifest, and why they can make you feel like a fortune teller accurately predicting your demise. Recognizing and acknowledging these triggers, instead of avoiding them, can be key to personal growth. Learn how to communicate with your partner about your triggers and why understanding that a trigger doesn't always require action is important.

Additionally, we will discuss subtle triggers that can slowly deteriorate your mental health. These include the negative impacts of social media, lack of sleep, negative self-talk, staying inside too much, dwelling on the past, and trying to keep everyone happy. Each of these factors can significantly affect your mood and overall mental well-being, and we provide practical tips to mitigate their effects.

Join us for an insightful episode aimed at helping you rise above destructive programming and embrace the discomfort necessary to rewire your brain for a happier, healthier life.
