Knowing triggers for the behavior to be eliminated, whether it's depression, anxiety, anger outbursts or addictive behaviors, can help prevent you from being triggered and moving on to obsessive thoughts or the behavior.
Ever wonder why certain situations or people can instantly change your mood? In this episode of 'Happiness Isn't Brain Surgery', Dr. Dawn-Elise 'Doc' Snipes breaks down the concept of triggers and cravings, and how they can shape our thoughts, feelings, and actions. Triggers can be anything from a place to a time of day, sparking reactions that might lead to unhealthy habits or, conversely, boost your well-being. Dr.
Snipes explains that while some triggers are unavoidable, recognizing them is the first step to managing their impact. She discusses the dual nature of triggers: they can either lead us down a path of distress or steer us towards recovery and happiness. For instance, understanding what prompts negative behaviors like anxiety or addiction can help you create strategies to avoid or cope with these triggers. On the flip side, identifying positive triggers can enhance your motivation and happiness. Dr.
Snipes emphasizes the importance of creating a 'change plan'—a proactive approach to enhance positive triggers and mitigate negative ones. Imagine you find that good sleep boosts your mood, but it means sacrificing social time with friends. Or perhaps sunlight makes you feel great, but you often avoid it due to other commitments. Dr. Snipes offers practical advice on balancing these triggers to improve your overall well-being.
This episode is especially useful for anyone dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, or anger issues. Dr. Snipes recorded this episode as part of a live continuing education webinar, adding a layer of expert insight to her practical tips. Whether you're looking to understand your own triggers better or seeking ways to support a loved one, this episode provides valuable tools for fostering a happier, healthier life.
