Are Your Emotions Taking Over?

Let’s uncover what’s really going on.

Maybe you’ve noticed specific people or situations can stir up strong emotional reactions—triggers that seem to come out of nowhere. In these moments, you might feel completely overwhelmed, anxious, or even frustrated, as if there's no way to just “shake it off.” Your body has been hijacked.

The Truth:

It’s crucial to remind yourself that your feelings are valid, you are not overacting and you are not alone. Often, these emotional reactions point to deeper issues that need recognition and understanding, guiding you on a path of self-exploration and healing.

What Does It Mean to Be “Triggered” or “Activated”?

Disproportionate Responses

You experience an emotional reaction that feels bigger than the situation itself. A sudden “whoosh” comes over your body, making it hard to think clearly.

Internal Echoes

Often, these reactions connect to hidden wounds, beliefs, or past experiences. They might be deeply rooted in your history—like unresolved pain or unhealed trauma.

Your Inner “Check Engine Light”

Triggers are signals that something inside needs attention. They stem from internal beliefs and past experiences, shaping how your mind and body react—not just the external situation.

When these moments of activation happen, you want clarity—you want to understand what’s really going on inside. The way forward is through deeper self-awareness and building a compassionate relationship with yourself.

I’ll help you shift the focus from what others might have done to provoke your reaction to recognizing the power within you to address and transform those feelings.

How Therapy Can Help

I work with clients who are ready to uncover the deeper meaning behind their emotional responses. My approach isn’t about quick fixes or avoiding discomfort—it’s about learning how to navigate your emotions with curiosity instead of fear.

Through our work, you'll learn to recognize triggers before they take over, gaining clarity on why certain emotional waves arise and how they connect to past experiences. Together, we’ll uncover the beliefs that shape your reactions—many formed long ago—and determine which ones still serve you, allowing you to rewrite outdated narratives with greater self-awareness.

Rather than feeling blindsided or stuck in emotional cycles, you'll build the tools to navigate life’s challenges with intention, resilience, and confidence. Over time, this shift fosters a sense of control, grounding, and peace in your daily life, helping you approach difficulties from a place of strength rather than fear.
