Understanding Triggers: A Journey Through Healing

Episode Overview

  • Triggers are indicators of healing rather than failure.
  • Recognising triggers can help process past trauma.
  • Physical reactions to triggers are normal responses.
  • Healing is a gradual process, not bound by timelines.
  • Reclaiming your story is a powerful step in recovery.
"Triggers aren't just wounds, they're windows."
In this episode of 'Confessions of a Worship Leader', Branon Dempsey explores the complex world of triggers and their impact on healing from past trauma. Imagine being whisked away to your childhood bedroom by a familiar smell or sound – that's the power of triggers. They don't ask for permission, they just invade your space, bringing with them a whirlwind of emotions.
Branon shares his own experiences with triggers, from vacations meant to be relaxing, to unexpected moments of reflection, drawing parallels with Bob Wiley from 'What About Bob'. Branon explains that triggers are not signs of failure but rather indicators of healing. He emphasises the importance of recognising these moments as opportunities to process and name past pain. It's like stepping into an old room, acknowledging the past but understanding that those events are no longer happening now.
Triggers are not there to haunt you; they're windows into understanding what was and claiming what is now. Branon also touches on the physical reactions that accompany triggers, such as chest constriction or trembling hands, and reassures listeners that these are normal responses to abnormal past experiences. The episode offers a comforting message: you have the power to reclaim your story and heal at your own pace.
It's a reminder that while you can't erase the past, you can use it as a tool for healing. This episode is a powerful exploration of self-awareness and resilience. It encourages listeners to embrace their journey, one step at a time, recognising progress in even the smallest moments. So, if you're looking for insights on handling triggers and understanding their role in healing, this episode is definitely worth a listen.
