Why It’s So Hard to Communicate When You’re Triggered [Ep 21]
🚨**LAST CHANCE TO BOOK YOUR SEAT Friday 17th May Midnight BST**
Ever found yourself freezing mid-conversation, overreacting to a small comment, or walking away from a talk thinking, “That didn’t come out how I meant it to”?
You’re not alone. In this episode, we explore why communication feels impossible when you’re triggered—and how your attachment style, nervous system, and past experiences all play a role.
If you’re tired of miscommunication, emotional spirals, or feeling misunderstood, this episode will help you connect the dots—and start healing your communication patterns from the inside out.
What We Cover:
- Why “just use your words” doesn’t work when you’re dysregulated
- How anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment styles show up in communication
- The nervous system’s role in fight/flight/freeze responses mid-conversation
- Why small things feel huge when you’re triggered
- The real reason you shut down, fawn, or over-explain
- How to expand your window of tolerance so you can stay present
- Why learning to communicate is a healing process—not just a skill
