We try to go into the mind and fix it and change things and make you change so I don't get so triggered. No, you got to go in the body. And that's a key element of setting boundaries again.
Triggers are one of my favorite things to talk about. And here's why. Triggers reveal... our unknown or unconscious beliefs about ourselves. So if, like we just did, like what? Yeah, so if, here it is. If I trigger you, if I say something or do something or don't say or do something, whatever it might be, I don't care who it is outside of you. What is actually happening is,

There's a belief inside of you that's rising up and it's presented to you almost on a silver platter, if you're willing to look. And that belief, and we all, every single human has these beliefs. Everybody does. And here's what's crazy. They're formed usually by the age of three to six at the latest. We all have beliefs.

Something like, I'm not lovable, I'm not good enough, I'm bad, I don't matter, I'm not seen, nobody listens to me. We all have that. Now, maybe I have a deeper feeling of I'm not lovable and you may have I'm bad more. Again, we're all a little different in that way. But we've all got those beliefs. We don't know what they are because they're not in the conscious mind.

They're sitting in the unconscious mind. The reason they're in the unconscious mind, who the hell wants to feel them? So when we're little, we drop them down into the unconscious mind, so when we're triggered, those beliefs are rising up within us.

And then we stop getting so triggered. We stop getting so angry. We stop having so much emotional dysregulation. We can start having more ease in our bodies. We have more peace.
