 Today is a personal story, but I think it's gonna help a lot of people. This is about how I got triggered recently and how I dealt with it. It was actually very exciting because I just finished part two of a schema therapy training course and I used my own trigger to help me apply what I've learned.

So dig in this is not therapy or medical advice, so always. See a licensed professional.

What Is Schema Therapy?

Self-Regulation in Real Time

Turning to Schema Therapy Tools

The Inner Child and the Core Wound

Understanding Modes in Action

Communicating the Trigger
