We can’t seem to control it in the moment
Our response to specific situations are so exaggerated to what they should be
Sometimes we can see in the moment that our reaction is uncalled for, but we don’t know how to stop ourselves
Other times, it’s not until the intense emotion has subsided that we can see how our response was uncalled for
But, if we have experienced trauma in the past
Our brain has memorized our response system
So even if it’s not the same situation
Our body will trigger into the same old pattern
This is normal, There is nothing wrong with you
It’s so subtle and unconscious
And we don’t relate the past trauma to the current situation
But, we can also change our reactions once we become aware of what’s happening
For instance, I came to be aware of this trigger response in myself:
I was resisting clients in my new business
I was almost having panic attacks every time a new client would sign up
After using my discovery tools as a coach, I was able to uncover the reason
In my previous business, I was a workaholic, not by choice, but because of the nature of the job
I always felt I had no control over my schedule
I was constantly in a state of stress and overwhelm
I was literally working ever spare second I had
So my brain, doing what brains do (which is protecting by using fight or flight)
Was trying to warn me and keep me safe
Even though the client had signed up at a designated time I had allotted to my schedule
So I was in complete control
It was trying to tell me this is unsafe and we are going to lose control of our schedule again with each new client
Once I became aware of what was happening and why I was freaking out every time a new client signed up
I was able to ease my mind by reminding myself, I am in complete control
I won’t allow myself to become too busy, overworked, or out of control
With each new client I become excited now instead of terrified
If you feel like you constantly overreact to small situations or think unreasonable thoughts about situations
I can help you get awareness around it and work through it
