Have you ever been having the time of your life, only to be pulled back into a traumatic memory by a single sound? Imagine sitting at a Thanksgiving dinner, surrounded by loved ones, when a scream triggers a past emergency call and plunges you into a whirlwind of panic and distress. This episode shares my personal story of how deeply ingrained trauma can resurface unexpectedly, even in the safest of environments. Join me as I recount that unforgettable day and the profound impact trauma triggers can have on one's emotional and physical well-being.

We'll take a closer look at how our brain responds to trauma, diving into the roles of the thinking cortex and the autonomic nervous system—the so-called reptilian brain. By examining the fight, flight, or freeze responses, I share insights from personal experiences and therapy, including neuromodulation techniques. Discover how these automatic reactions can hijack rational thought and leave us stuck in survival modes. This understanding will pave the way for identifying and addressing trauma triggers, offering tools to move beyond these heightened states.

Lastly, I'll take you through my journey of recovery, detailing techniques like therapy, mindfulness practices, and the immense value of support from loved ones. From the high-stakes courtroom drama that left me on edge to the family fallout that ensued, this episode underscores the importance of recognizing and processing emotional triggers. Listen in for an eye-opening conversation about the lasting effects of high-stress situations on mental health and relationships, and learn how to navigate the path to healing and better mental well-being.
