Making friends with your triggers

How would it feel to set strong boundaries for yourself while simultaneously building close and healthy relationships? Or have full-time intuitive knowledge about yourself and your surroundings? What could you accomplish if you had an internal compass that unerringly brought you back to your truest path and your deepest self? Or if you had free access to a constant source of energy, rejuvenation and certainty?

This is the opening paragraph for the book I have started reading The Language of Emotions.

In a kinesiology session, we use your bodies wisdom via muscle testing to identify the underlying emotion in relation to our issues. Putting spotlight to the emotional involvement, helps us to get to the core issue, channel self-awareness and profound healing. Once you see it you can’t unsee it. Giving our emotions time to be seen and acknowledged rather than pushed down, ignored, vilified, repressed, camouflaged, categorized as ‘bad or good’ (to name a few), helps us to accept and have empathy toward ourselves. For me though, it’s been more than this. Understanding my emotions and what they mean, helps me to heal, know what I value, understand my beliefs and assist in navigating who I want to be, do and have in my life. My emotions keep me aware and on track. They give me direction toward my north, even if it feels south sometimes – south tells me where north is. They help me to be simultaneously decisive and compassionate.

I recommend a trigger diary.

Write down all the things that trigger you, erk you, make you feel angry/sad/depressed/unloved/heightened/stimulated/agitated….

Consider a trigger diary as critical data on what’s really going on for you in your life and help you to identify your core issues.

And that is what we can work on when you come into clinic.

What’s on the other side of identifying the core issues? Growth, peace, direction, achieving what you want, knowing how you want to be, do and have… and there’s hope. I hear many clients say they leave a session feeling hopeful. I love this. Makes my heart sing. Everyone needs hope. A hope to change what isn’t working for them into what will. This is what makes this journey worth it.

See you on the road to change.
