How do you protect yourself when someone says or does something that triggers you? How are you most likely to respond?

When a part of us doesn’t feel like it can manage or navigate a solution, we employ a coping mechanism – often unknowingly – and these self-protection mechanisms may cause us much more pain than we can even imagine. We rely on behavior we have been conditioned to use to escape feelings we don’t want to feel.

Listen to this episode to learn how to respond with vulnerability versus reacting with vigilance and end the self-sabotage and self-betrayal you may or may not realize you’re a part of in your relationships.

Our mission is to help you become unstoppable so you can do the best work of your career while you enjoy more inner peace and freedom.
