When Triggers Take Over: Staying Safe With Each Other. Emotional triggers don’t mean something is wrong with you or your relationship. They mean something important is rising to the surface. In this episode of Resilient Minds in Relationships, Kathryn Fayle, LPC, NCC, CSAT, unpacks what emotional triggers really are, how they hijack connection, and most importantly, how to stay safe with each other in the moments that feel anything but. Whether you shut down, lash out, or spiral in anxiety, today’s episode offers tools to help you and your partner move from reactivity to repair. You’ll learn: - What an emotional trigger is (and why it’s not just about the current moment) - How past pain shows up in present conflict - The difference between reacting *from* a trigger and speaking *about* one - Scripts to use when you're flooded or when your partner is - How real couples, like Kathryn and her husband, repair after conflict Plus, Kathryn shares two free resources: 📄 My Trigger Map Worksheet and 📘 Trigger-to-Trust Repair Script You can also download them at: www.resilient-minded.com.
