Key Takeaways
1. Our past relationship wounds create protective triggers that can sabotage current love. When we're hurt before, our nervous system learns to read danger in innocent moments-a delayed text becomes abandonment, silence becomes rejection.
2. The key to healing isn't eliminating triggers but creating space between the trigger and our response. We learn to ask: What year is this feeling from? and Is this the same story or a new one?
3. Real love isn't finding someone who never triggers you-it's finding someone who stays while you untangle yesterday's knots. Healing happens when we love from wholeness instead of wounds, choosing to write new endings rather than repeating old patterns.
Your past taught you to survive. Your present is teaching you to thrive!
