What Are Emotional Triggers?

Emotional triggers are intense reactions to certain words, actions, or situations. You might feel:

Hurt when someone ignores you
Panicked when someone raises their voice
Sad or angry when you feel rejected

These feelings can be linked to childhood trauma, emotional neglect, or moments when your needs weren’t met in the past.

“when your inner child is hurt and ignored, they get louder.”

Therapy for Trauma and Anxiety

Why Therapy helps trauma and anxiety

Reduce Anxiety and Depression:
Therapy can help teach how to cope with overwhelming emotions, manage stress, and overcome feelings of sadness or fear.
Improve Relationships:
Can help individual partners communicate better, reconnect emotionally, and support each other as they adjust to life with a new baby.
You Learn to Notice Your Patterns
In therapy, you talk through situations that upset you. Your therapist helps you figure out what you were feeling, what memory or belief got triggered, and where those feelings first started.

“Suffering from inner child trauma can feel lonely and scary. ”

Build Self-Compassion
One of the best parts of therapy is learning to stop judging yourself. You realize:
You are not crazy—you are reacting to pain you never got to heal. That's a part of you that just wants to feel safe. With compassion, you start to respond to yourself with kindness, not shame.
Learn New Tools to Cope
Once you know your triggers, you can learn healthy ways to respond, such as Grounding exercises to calm your body, talking kindly to your inner child, setting boundaries, or asking for what you need. You don’t have to keep reacting the same way forever. Therapy gives you emotional awareness and control.
Understand the Root Cause
Many of our reactions aren’t really about now—they’re about then. Therapy helps you connect the dots:
- “I felt abandoned when my friend canceled.”
- “That reminded me of being left out as a kid.”
This is how therapy helps you find the root cause of your emotions—not just the surface story.

“Therapy helps you understand what’s really going on inside so you don’t feel confused or overwhelmed by your emotions anymore. It gives you the power to heal the past and respond in healthier ways today.

This work helps many of our clients break free from stuck patterns, build self-worth, and develop healthier relationships—with themselves and others.
Absolutely. We believe healing isn’t just mental—it’s emotional, physical, and spiritual. Incorporating practices like grounding breathwork, guided visualizations, Reiki, and meditation helps:
- Regulate your nervous system
- Rebuild inner calm and safety
- Deepen your connection to self and purpose
These tools are especially helpful when words feel too heavy, or when your body carries what your mind can’t explain.
