This episode follows Chapter 1, Section 5: The Heartbreaking Triggers. In this episode, We're talking about how trauma triggers your amygdala and how to un-trigger it.You'll get the script of what to say to your anxiety.We'll practice the script together so you can feel what it's like, to not be scared of it.We'll do a little review on how and why anxiety goes away.I explain where anxiety triggers come from and how you can un-trigger them. Intensely threatening events, called traumas, overwhelm your senses. They spike your adrenaline. They set off your fight or flight response, and they cause you to trigger that response easier the next time. When you identify triggers you no longer need, you can decide to un-trigger them. I’m here to help you do that.I will give you a script of what to say to your anxiety that acknowledges it, doesn’t fear it, and reclaims your control over your emotions. Then you just repeat this script to override your reptilian brain. This is about you regaining control over your anxiety. “When you're deciding to consciously do this as an exercise, you'll expect that trigger coming and it won't blindside you. You will have control over the whole situation.” - Dr. JodiResources discussed in this episode:Order the Book: Anxiety . . .

The hippocampus is the part of your brain that controls motivation and emotions and learning, and contextual memory. Contextual memory means the story of the memory.

Anything can trigger this emotional memory, a sound, a clink of a glass, somebody yelling, tomatoes, driving in a car. In addition, a panic attack is also itself a trauma.
