Summary
In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I explore the concept of triggers—those moments that can thrust us into a state of emotional dysregulation. Personal experiences, such as external noises or criticism, can disrupt our mental clarity and focus, prompting discussions about the necessity of developing consistent techniques to regain calmness. Drawing from my journey, I emphasize that regular practices, much like writing or meditation, can significantly enhance emotional stability. It took years for me to establish a twice-daily routine, particularly during times of distress, fostering an inner sense of calm that gradually became second nature.
We delve deeper into the philosophical elements of emotional healing and connectability, particularly in the context of trauma and its profound impact on our ability to form relationships. I share my own struggles with connection, especially in social settings where I often felt out of place. This journey of self-discovery has led me to coin the term "connectability," which captures the essence of learning to connect authentically with oneself and others. I discuss the barriers that may hinder our ability to relate to others, particularly for those who have experienced trauma or who fall within the neurodivergent spectrum.
Through our conversation, I stress that establishing healthy boundaries is crucial for fostering strong relationships. Many of us carry past scars that make us susceptible to emotional dysfunction in our interactions. I share that it’s vital to recognize overt and covert forms of avoidance, whether by keeping distance from emotionally available individuals or using distractions like phone screens to escape social pressure. Recognizing these patterns is the first step toward meaningful connection.
