“Is triggered, being triggered, ruining your life? Is it preventing you from being who you really are?”
In this engaging episode of New Life Perspectives, Liz Larson and Bill McKenna explore the concept of being 'triggered' with their guest Leah Seneff. Leah, who is both the Cognomovement Business Manager and Bill's daughter, shares her insights into how the term 'triggered' has evolved across generations. The conversation dives into the societal acceptance of intense emotional reactions and questions whether these reactions might be affecting one's quality of life.
Leah and the hosts discuss how this heightened state of reactivity can drain energy and impact mental well-being. They highlight how identifying with trauma can sometimes overshadow one's true self, turning personal experiences into defining characteristics. This episode is not just a critique but offers a path forward through the Cognomovement System, a technique designed to help rewire the nervous system and promote a state of calm.
Liz and Bill emphasise that understanding and addressing triggers can lead to healthier relationships and a more fulfilling life. They challenge listeners to reconsider how much time they spend focusing on trauma and encourage exploring one's potential beyond it. With light humour sprinkled throughout, the episode invites reflection on whether being perpetually 'triggered' might be robbing you of life's joys. Tune in for thought-provoking discussions and practical advice on transforming your reactions into opportunities for growth.
