The Hardcore Therapist 72.5- Am I triggered or am I upset?

Today in this episode of The Hardcore Therapist, we’re diving into a crucial topic: the difference between being triggered and just being upset. Ever had a moment where your reaction felt way bigger than the situation? Or found yourself spiraling over something that shouldn't have hit that hard? We’ll explore why that happens, how trauma plays a role, and how to tell whether you’re responding to the present—or reliving the past.

We’ll be pulling insights from experts like Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Brené Brown, and Pete Walker.
