Triggered- Why we are triggered and how to stop reacting

When we are triggered it can play out in our bodies and or our minds and reek havoc, often ending in a heated discussion, fight or even worse, separation and or disease.

Wouldn't it be helpful if we could live our lives where we feel like Teflon? Whoosh. Can you imagine, no matter what the circumstances, no matter what someone was saying or doing that would normally cause a reaction, the energy just sliding right off you? My husband calls me Teflon Cate and I want to show you how this came about. I want you to know how to release yourself from the ties that bind you to your past hurts, pains and traumas so you can too be Teflon ……….(insert your name here) Try it out for yourself! I promise you, it feels incredible.

So, first things first. Understand this, when someone triggers you it is a gift in strange wrapping paper! I guess it fundamentally depends on your belief system to understand where I am coming from here. In the next 5 modules I will show you the path to freedom.

Fundamentally I believe that we are not driving the bus in life. I believe we are on a predetermined trajectory and when we interfere with that path with our own false agenda, things go a little or a lot haywire! I believe therefore we need to take our hands off the wheel, let life careen out of control a bit and see what emerges. This belief has delivered me gifts in so many ways in the past. Basically if you break it down, the belief is called TRUST. Trust in the universe, your GOD, divinity, space, physics, whatever your belief, we need to trust that what is being delivered to us is there to pave the way to the light. Yep even the dark stuff. Like in Joseph Campbells ‘A Hero’s Journey’. According to Joseph Campbell we start out with an ordinary journey, then we receive a call to adventure, we cross the first threshold into the unknown, we experience trials, foes and friends, we receive a magical mentor, then we experience the dragons lair, followed by amount of despair. If we continue and don't give up the ultimate treasure can be found on the other side. Once we choose to press on and we are on our way home to the self, rebirth occurs and the champion emerges.
