Everyone gets triggered.  What makes the difference between constant breakdown and healthy relating is what you tell yourself and how you mend.  In this episode, I invite you to bring compassion to your triggers so you can learn from and heal these moments.

1:30 The pitfall of resolutions

2:24 How we fall prey to the shame monster

3:30 Here’s the actual problem – it’s not what you think

4:38 What you do after the trigger is what makes the difference.

5:08 From Triggered to Tranquil by Dr. Campbell outlines the steps

5:23 How we resist the shame

6:43 My husband and I dug into the cleanup recently

7:26 The “next frontier” rather than a resolution

7:55 Healthy intimacy actually needs friction

8:57 This week’s homework

Resources: Find From Triggered to Tranquil by Dr. Susan Campbell here: https://susancampbell.com/product/from-triggered-to-tranquil/. Of note, though some amount of friction is important for authentic intimacy, too much friction is not a good thing for your nervous system or your relationship. It likely means one or both of you need additional help to heal whatever is being revealed.  If you find yourself in this situation, please consider seeking professional counseling to aid in your process.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
