TMM PODCAST EPISODE 148: Solving The Problem of Emotional Triggers (The Best of The Menopause Movement Podcast Episode 16)

A few years ago, this term used to be new to me.

There were many instances where I was triggered and reacted inappropriately, because one of the ways that I managed my own trauma was not to trust anyone and to always push people away.

If I felt threatened at all I would lash out. This almost cost me my job when I was a resident, because I didn't know how to interact with people.

Thankfully I got to a place where I had the luxury to do some introspection, where a lot of women may not have that because a lot of us are still in survival mode even into midlife.
