TRIGGERS: What are they? How do they happen? And what can we do about them? How do we stop being triggered or manage them more effectively?
Triggers can be anything from something physical you encounter that creates a reaction in your body to memories or situations you encounter that trigger a strong emotional response. You might find that certain places or environments trigger you to relive experiences you dealt with in the past. Likewise, you might find that certain events, situations, or people trigger certain behaviours in you or cravings for things.
At any point in life, we can find ourselves subconsciously reacting to them without even realising why we are finding ourselves anxious, panicked, sad and reliving past memories we'd sooner not. You might not even realise you are being triggered, yet find yourself going through challenging times or seeing the same patterns of things happen to you time and time over again.
After attending this class, however, you will be able to tell when you've been triggered. What's more, from learning about Gleni's personal, work and teaching experience, you will learn some great tips on when to expect them, detect them, and handle them to prevent them from hijacking your mood and positive well-being.
More about your tutor.
Meet lovely Gleni, a former counsellor and adult education teacher who used to teach counselling skills and self-awareness courses. Hear about Gleni's journey towards becoming a counsellor and the time she spent reliving memories of her childhood and feelings previously buried deep within the subconscious mind. Then, through this painful process, she went on to experience a moment of spiritual enlightenment, which helped her accept herself as herself, which then took her upon her life's ultimate journey. To train to become a counsellor.
Throughout her working career, Gleni has been driven to help people find out about themselves that bit more, knowing the benefits she drew from her experience of working through past memories. This experience enables Gleni to advise and empathise with firsthand experience about the impact triggers have upon people, and it is this life experience and understanding you will be greeted with within this relaxed, safe, and informative workshop.
