Why do the same people keep triggering us?
Why do certain relationships, colleagues, family members or situations seem to provoke the same reaction again and again?
In this episode of An Evolving Man Podcast, I explore emotional triggers from the perspective of leadership, Jungian psychology, boarding school trauma, nervous system regulation and personal sovereignty.
This is an important subject for anyone in leadership, coaching, relationships, parenting or personal development because the people who trigger us often reveal something important about ourselves.
Drawing on Carl Jung’s insight that “when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside as fate,” I explore how projection works, why we give our power away, and how we can begin to bring that energy back into the body.
We explore:
• Why the same people keep triggering us
• Jung, shadow work and projection
• Why triggers are often somatic before they are intellectual
• How boarding school and childhood trauma can create hypervigilance
• The inner critic and outer critic
• Why anger in others may reveal hidden anger in ourselves
• How to reclaim projections and take back your energy
• Why boundaries are essential for emotional maturity
• How to practise saying no without aggression or people-pleasing
• EFT, Havening and body-based regulation tools
• Why triggers are part of leadership development
• How compassionate leadership begins with self-awareness
I also share details of our upcoming free Compassionate Leaders Global workshop:
