#48 - What can I do when you get triggered?

July 01, 2024 Yvette Erasmus Season 1 Episode 48

As we run through our everyday lives, we'll inevitably bump up against other humans who might be less resourced than we are.  

Catching others as they're having a bad day can provide us stellar opportunities to increase our own empathy, and we don't even have to say a word.

On this week's episode, we delve into ways to manage our own nervous systems amidst the triggered nervous systems of others, including:


  • 4:24  How can someone be verbally aggressive and still profess love?
  • 12:59  What yelling does, and doesn't do
  • 16:54  How can NVC help me when I feel frozen?
  • 24:06  How can capacity building help me field someone else's triggered reactions?
  • 30:13  How can I get better at holding my own needs along with someone else's?
  • 37:37  The 2 part practice for fielding someone else's triggered response
