Trauma Series – Why Do I Feel So Triggered?  

In this episode of The Reviving Christian Families Podcast, we’re working on understanding trauma triggers—why they happen, how they’re tied to our brain’s natural threat system, and what we can do to navigate them with grace.

 

Here’s what you’ll learn:  
👉 What trauma triggers are and why they can feel so intense.  
👉 The science behind triggers—how the amygdala plays a role in hijacking our responses.  
👉 Why your reactions might feel “irrational” (hint: it’s connected to past trauma).  
👉 How to identify your personal triggers and take steps toward healing.  
👉 Practical tools to regulate your nervous system, including grounding exercises, Scripture, and faith-based encouragement.  

 

Have you ever been overwhelmed by a reaction that felt bigger than the situation called for?

Maybe you’ve thought:  
💭 “Why did that comment make me so upset?” 
💭 “I know they didn’t mean it that way, so why can’t I let it go?”  
💭 “Why do I feel like I’m back in that horrible moment from years ago?”  

 

You’re not alone.   

 

If you’ve ever been caught off guard by a strong emotional reaction and wondered, “What’s wrong with me?”—this episode is here to remind you that nothing is wrong with you. Triggers are part of the healing process, and with understanding and tools, you can begin to respond with peace instead of panic.
