47. Responding Instead of Reacting When Triggered

If you get triggered by something, what do you do?  Do you REACT or RESPOND?  Being reactive often means we're letting our emotions run our lives.  There are ways to ground yourself and choose how to respond to any situation, no matter how difficult it might be.  In this episode I talk with marriage and family therapist Lisa Ayala about how to do this work to improve relationships and ease your suffering.    Side note:  Lisa and I have been dear friends since we were 8 years old.  We have spent thousands of hours on phone calls over the years and she has taught me so much.     Follow me on Instagram:  @Colleen_Odegaard Email me:  [email protected] Website:  www.ColleenOdegaard.com
