Triggers occur when something in the present activates an old emotional or nervous system memory. This can create strong reactions in the body — even when you logically know you’re safe. It’s not a setback; it’s your nervous system trying to protect you. This trauma-sensitive grounding practice helps you settle after activation by calming the body, orienting to the present moment, and gently restoring emotional safety. Drawing on ACT, somatic awareness, and self-compassion, you’ll reconnect with stability without forcing the experience away. Supportive for trauma responses, emotional triggers, relationship activation, stress reactions, and nervous system dysregulation. A steady reset to help you return to yourself with clarity and care.
