Episodes 10 and 11 - Understanding Trauma Triggers (Dissociation, Flashbacks, Fear, Anger)
In these episodes of Brave Haven, we talk about some of our personal triggers and how they affect us. This isn’t about internet “offense,” but the deeper reactions that can surface when a place, smell, object, or person reminds us of past trauma.
This is a two-part conversation.
In Part 1, we share personal experiences.
In Part 2, we continue the discussion and explore:
How triggers can change over time
What dissociation looks like
What Scripture has to say about walking wisely in these moments
