How to Be Untriggerable | Infinite Devotion Episode 149

In this week’s episode Dawn and I dig into a word I've used for years, one that keeps coming back to me from listeners, especially men: untriggerable.

This episode is about what that word actually means to us, why most people go about it the wrong way, and what it's really taken for us to get to the other side of the things that used to set us off.

In This Episode

Why the word "untriggerable" resonates with so many people, and why nobody wants to feel triggered in the first place

Why we can't discipline our way into being untriggerable, and why effort and force actually work against us

The real definition: being untriggerable means encountering the thing that used to upset us and having it not upset us anymore, not forcing ourselves to not react

Why we have to let ourselves get triggered, fully and repeatedly, instead of trying to shut the reaction down

The four survival responses, fight, flight, freeze, and fawn, and how each one has shown up differently for each of us

Why the fawn response is likely the most common one in men, and how it shows up as the "nice guy" pattern

Why being untriggerable is never about the moment we're in, it's about what happens next time

How resisting a trigger keeps it alive, and why trying to talk ourselves out of a feeling is the same suppression that created the pattern to begin with
