In this episode, we unpack what’s really happening when you feel “too much” in the heat of the moment. Instead of labelling yourself as overreactive or oversensitive, we explore how your nervous system is quietly scanning for danger, comparing the present to everything it has ever lived through. You’ll learn what a trigger actually is, why motherhood can re-activate old wounds, and how implicit body memories can drive your reactions long before your thoughts catch up. We then move into practical, trauma-informed strategies — from orienting and co-regulation to naming your emotions and befriending long-standing survival patterns — so you can respond with more compassion for yourself and more safety for your kids.
