If you’ve ever been blindsided by a wave of emotion — your heart racing, stomach tightening, or thoughts spiraling — you’re not alone. Triggers after betrayal can feel like setbacks or proof that you’re “not healing fast enough,” but they’re actually sacred invitations to listen, tend, and heal what’s still tender inside.
In this episode of Rooted and Rising After Betrayal, Hali unpacks what it really means to be triggered — both the external reminders (like a smell, song, or look) and the internal cues (thoughts, sensations, or fears) that can suddenly flood your nervous system. You’ll learn why these moments aren’t failures, but messages from your body asking for safety, care, and grounding.
What triggers really are — and why your body reacts the way it does
Why being triggered doesn’t mean you’re back at square one
Simple tools to regulate in the moment
A gentle reframe: “You’re not failing — you’re feeling.”
