About this listen
Have you ever exploded over a small comment… and later wondered, “Why did I react like that?”
It wasn’t just the words.
It was the story your brain attached to them.
In this episode, we uncover the psychology behind trigger words and trigger stories — how hidden mental patterns (schemas) and attribution bias create instant anger, defensiveness, and overreactions.
You’ll learn:
• Why certain words hit harder than they should
• How your brain fills in missing information with worst-case assumptions
• The hidden role of attribution bias in conflict
• Why instant anger is often instant interpretation
• A simple 3-step method to interrupt emotional reactions
• How to respond wisely instead of reacting impulsively
This episode blends psychology, emotional intelligence, communication science, and practical self-regulation tools into strategies you can use in relationships, workplace conversations, family conflicts, and everyday misunderstandings.
Because the trigger is often small.
The story is huge.
