How Triggers Carry the Weight of the Past

Often, the intensity of our reactions has less to do with what’s happening now

and more to do with everything our system associates with it.

A single moment can activate a whole network of past experiences—memories, emotions, and relational imprints that feel strikingly familiar.

In this mini course, we explore how emotional experiences stack, overlap, and echo across time, creating reactions that feel bigger than the present moment alone. You’ll learn how to recognize when you’re responding to what’s actually occurring, versus when your body is also reliving older, related experiences.
