Understanding your triggers can mean the difference between a peaceful life well-lived and living in a constant state of anger and resentment. Does your ex seem to trigger you in all the worst ways, all of the time? Same, or at least this used to be the case, before I really did the work to honor my traumas and truly understand what had the power to trigger me. Like with anything else, when it comes to understanding your triggers, knowledge really is power.
That’s why I had Marriage and Family Therapist Dr. Ilene Cohen – 3x award-winning author, and mom – join us to talk about all things related to feeling triggered, how to stop feeling so triggered, and how to make sure your triggers don’t ruin your post-divorce and co-parenting life. Trust me, this is good stuff.
