EP: 97 How to Move Through Emotional Triggers Without Spiralling

In this raw and real solo episode, I’m sharing the exact tools I use to move through emotional triggers without spiralling into panic, shutdown, or overwhelm. Whether it’s family dynamics, relationship tension, or the quiet moments where emotion builds beneath the surface - we all get triggered. What matters is how we respond.

I open up about what brought me home to Australia recently, how grief has been moving through my body since losing my mum, and the ways old wounds were activated during my trip - especially around parenting, family systems, and deep inner patterning.

We dive into:
 ✦ What a trigger actually is - from a nervous system perspective
 ✦ How emotional spirals can show up in subtle or loud ways
 ✦ The 5-step regulation flow I personally return to (again and again)
✦ Why emotional reactivity is learned - and how to rewire it
✦ The difference between “Phoebe Part 1” (pre-somatic therapy) and “Phoebe Part 2” (post-regulation life)

Plus, I answer a powerful listener question on:
➤ How to deal with the instinct to repress emotions, avoid decisions, and stay stuck in limbo

You’ll leave this episode with practical somatic tools, new awareness, and a deep exhale knowing you’re not alone in the messiness of it all.
