Family Anxiety Triggers. How to Stop Being Triggered By Parents or Family
episode summary
Discover the cause of family anxiety triggers and how to stop being emotionally triggered by parents or other family members.
Why do we get especially emotionally reactive and triggered by parents or family members?
We may be mature, balanced, and in our wu wei flow in our other personal relationships or aspects of our life, but when it comes to parents or family, often they can touch our emotional pain points. When this happens we revert back to our irritated, angry, insecure or anxious ‘younger self’.
So, what’s going on here? How is our inner child involved? And how can we restore inner-calm and find peace with our family situation and those we love?
In this teaching, we answer your questions.
