In this engaging episode of Life Unscripted, I sit down with my former therapist (and one of my favorite people), Stefanie Barthmare, to dive deep into the intricacies of emotional triggers and the importance of focusing on what we can control. We talk about:

-Understanding and managing emotional triggers

-Effective strategies for pausing and responding mindfully (aka how to not go from 0-100, and the importance of slowing it down and taking a beat first)

-The power of surrendering and trusting the process

-How past relationships impact our present ones

-Building healthy boundaries and communication practices

-Focusing on what we can control in our daily lives

Stefanie shares her wisdom on taking a beat between trigger and response, letting go of the uncontrollable, and healing from past experiences to create healthier current relationships. Enjoy!
