StoryShift Triggers Card Deck
your triggers
are not the enemy
Everyone gets triggered.
Most people don't know what to do.
Don't be most people.
Put Your Triggers to Work FOR You
so you never get blindsided again
Triggers are so misunderstood...
But instead of being the enemy, they are pointing a spotlight at something that is still causing
hurt, shame, anger, people-pleasing, or perfectionism -
something you buried so deeply you may have forgotten it's there.
Feeling triggered means whatever is happening right now
is yanking the unpleasant, unaddressed, unhealed feelings of that old memory
out of its hiding place
and inserting it into this moment.
And you're reacting as if it's happening all over again right now
even if you have no memory connecting the two events.
There is wisdom and guidance in your triggers when you know how to work WITH them.
GOOD NEWS
You Already Know More Than You Think You Do
Your intuition has been dropping clues for years — nudging you toward the hidden stories that have been running your life without your permission. Picture this…
You're having a perfectly ordinary day. And then out of nowhere, you feel ambushed — and your feelings are off and running before your brain even catches up.
Here's a relatively mild incident that happened to me. On the surface it looks like a silly little nothing — but in that moment, it felt huge. A big old spike. Which is exactly the point.
Here's the Reader's Digest version of what a trigger can look like in real life.
The trigger itself is one no one likes -
feeling falsely accused.
Technically, everything she said was true.
But the feelings that came roaring up
had far more to do with the past than with that cashier.
I could feel it building in my chest,
in my gut, in my head.
Ready to start spewing out of my mouth....
the gas station story...
I was at the gas station.
I typed in my phone number to access my rewards.
It was rejected.
The cashier gave me a sullen look and sour tone of voice:
"You don't have a rewards membership."
Me – It must have been a typo.
Cashier – There's no membership for this number.
Me – The receipt is in the car. Let me run get it.
Cashier – This isn't the same number.
Me – It was a typo!
Cashier – (Huffs noisily, resets touchscreen.)
Me – (Retypes number. It goes through.)
Cashier – You used a different number.
Me – IT WAS A TYPO!!!!
So I made a hasty retreat and sat in the car fuming, feeling righteously infuriated.
How dare she!? What was she accusing me of!?
Telling myself to calm down...
And then there it came -
the guilt, the fake smile, the hours of replaying it after.
You too?
This Reaction Didn't Come Out of Nowhere
The tone, the look, the feeling of being dismissed or accused or forgotten
- your gut recognized it.
Not from this incident. Not from that cashier.
From a long time ago. And it blew.
you didn't create these triggers
but you'v been living their stories
They've been driving your life incognito.
If we try to dodge or ignore them, we end up feeling consumed instead.
Stuck repeating the same old relationships, thoughts, circumstances, and experiences.
you can't change those stories
if you don't know they're there
It's no use pretending it didn't happen.
Deciding it didn't hurt won't stop it from hurting.
But bringing it out of hiding and dealing with it will rob it of the ability to be an inner dictator.
This is what StoryShifting is and exactly what the StoryShift Triggers Card Deck is for.
Neutralize your triggers without pretending some things never happened or didn't hurt.
here's the thing
you don't have to wait
until you get triggered...
With the StoryShift Triggers Card Deck,
you can find and face those hidden triggers,
and loosen their grip
before life makes that choice for you.
Each card is a nudge from your own intuition - a bullseye pointing directly toward anywhere you're still carrying pain, shame, or anger.
You draw a card. You read the prompt.
And whatever surfaces first?
That's not random.
That's your gut finally getting a word in.
ON PURPOSE. AT A TIME OF YOUR OWN CHOOSING.
But first, have we met?
I'm Anne Wade, emotional healing teacher, author, StoryShifter.
As someone who spent decades getting tripped up by triggers that seemed to materialize out of nowhere, I know those tangled feelings of anger, shame, and blame all too well.
Despite having an M.Ed. in Learning Theory and multiple certifications, I didn't study my way to this work. I lived my way into it - and then spent years figuring out how to live it on purpose and teach it so you could, too.
The biggest ah-ha: Triggers are the signal, not the problem. They point straight back to the hidden stories running underneath, the ones you didn't choose and may not even know are there.
The Triggers Card Deck grew out of that work. It's designed to help you see where your triggers are coming from and start putting them to work on your behalf. The goal is not to control or push through, but to harness them as a valuable guide for our healing.
The StoryShift Triggers Cards Deck was created to help me stop holding myself back, ditch the people pleasing and perfectionism, and make peace with my past without pretending some things never happened or didn't hurt.
And now you can use them too.
Imagine...
What if you could stop being blindsided
and start taking charge?
The deck is designed for exactly this
here's what makes this card deck different from anything else you've tried
INTRODUCING THE
STORYSHIFT TRIGGERS CARD DECK
52 cards. One focused look at what's actually been running the show from behind the scenes.
Every one of the 52 cards carries a single open-ended prompt. Something like:
"I feel helpless when ____________."
What is the first thought, feeling, memory, or story that comes to mind?
That's not random — it's your gut speaking before your head can talk it out of anything.
There's no assigned meaning. No cookie-cutter interpretation waiting on the back. The cards are deliberately designed to be read by you, for you. Your stories are uniquely yours, even when the emotions underneath them are ones we all share.

HOW THE CARDS WORK
STEP 1
Pick a card. Any card.
After shuffling, pick a card — don't think about it or count from left to right. There's no such thing as a bad card or bad pick. While that may seem like pure chance, it is really a baby step towards trusting your intuition more.
Come to the cards with an open mind. Consider where you could really use some guidance right now.
STEP 2
What is the first thought, memory, or story that comes to mind?
Pay attention to those initial thoughts and their feelings. They are a form of instinctive inner guidance. Your gut already knows. The card just lets your gut know it's finally time.
STEP 3
What's the primary emotion evoked by that thought or memory?
That is where you're feeling hurt or stuck. No ranking which hurt was worse or agonizing over where to start. You listen to what comes up first.
Note: What comes to mind may or may not exactly match the prompt on the card.
The open-ended prompts are designed to help you uncover hidden triggers
and see your old ones from a new perspective.
The included instructions tell you how to proceed from there.
There's no wrong way...

Working with what seems like a tiny trigger often pulls a thread that loosens something much larger. That's not a failure. That's the point.
There's no assigned meaning and no lock-step interpretation. The cards respond to you. And sometimes the ones that seem to have the least to say reveal the most.
On the back of every card is the StoryShift lotus - a reminder that old hurts may look like muck and mud, but they are really fertilzer for our healing.
These old triggers - and the stories they set off - have been in charge long enough

STRAIGHT FROM OUR HAPPY CUSTOMERS
"I had no idea it was possible to find and address my triggers! I thought I had to wait until they hit me."
So many years of knowing I might blow up for "no" reason. I'm taking my power back right now!
Laura, Workshop Attendee
You're ready!
now is the TIME
You've heard the saying
The best time to start was yesterday.
The second best time is today.
If you've been waiting for the perfect time,
NOW is that time.
EVERY SMALL STEP TAKEN TODAY, COMPOUNDS INTO SOMETHING GREATER TOMORROW.
(Yes, I like sayings)
Remember
There's no assigned meaning. No "if you draw this card, it means that."
No lock-step, cookie-cutter interpretation waiting for you on the back.
The cards are deliberately designed to be read by you, for you.
Just because two people get the same card doesn’t mean they’ll be finding out the same things.
Your triggers are uniquely yours, even though the emotions underneath them are ones we all share.
You don't go searching for the "right" memory.
You don't rank which hurt was worse or decide where to start.
You listen to what comes up first because your gut already knows.
The card just is signaling it's finally time - if you're willing.
What you grasp when you follow the card’s direction is yours alone.
No one else will get the same guidance you do even if you pick the same card.
And sometimes the cards that seem to have the least to say end up revealing the most.
All the old stories you've been carrying are also the ground your healing grows from.
Every bit of muck and mud has been fertilizer in disguise.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
QUESTION
Is it OK to use the same card more than once?
Yes! You may randomly pull the same card several times, or you may want to keep working with a card for more than one session. Many memories have layers, and the layers have nuances. If it feels like there is more to process, stay with that card until you feel cleared to move on.
QUESTION
It seems like a lot of the prompts bring up hard topics. Why?
The cards are designed to point you toward old, lingering, unprocessed emotions and the stories they carry. That is where our triggers lie in wait and the starting point to getting them up and out. We've been conditioned to avoid those feelings to the point where they can be hard to find. The cards are a shortcut to finding whatever needs to be addressed.
Whatever comes up is uniquely yours, even when the emotions underneath them are ones we all share.
QUESTION
Some of the cards don't apply to me. Do I have to do them anyway?
Yes please! As a favor to yourself, give them a go and see what comes up. You might be surprised by what's lurking in there. You can also begin by asking, "If this were true for me, then ___________." It's OK to coax those feelings out of hiding.
