Put Your Triggers to Work FOR You
you know that moment something "small" happens...
and your reaction is way bigger than it needs to be?
That's a trigger.
If you've spent any time wishing you could just stop reacting that way - or wondering what's wrong with you that you can't - you're in the right place.
You are not broken
and you do not need to be fixed
Maybe someone's tone of voice sets you off.
A stray comment lands like a punch.
A thoughtless action feel likes like a deliberate slight.
Logically, it wasn't that big a deal.
But it hit hard and felt like a big deal...
And there you are.
That's a trigger.
TRIGGERS ARE OFTEN MISUNDERSTOOD
We've Been Taught that the Goal is to Control or Eliminate
That's not only impossible - it's a missed opportunity.
Triggers aren't the problem. They're information.
Here's what's actually happening - StoryShift 101.
Our emotions have a job.
They take in everything around us - sensory, intellectual, emotional, and relational. They process it, organize it, then deliver the wisdom and guidance we need. When they're done, they move through and out of our bodies.
But there's often a problem...
We've been taught that some emotions are good and others are bad...
Some are positive and others are negative...
So we suppress, reject, or push those aside. Or we try to stay positive.
The result? Those emotions can't complete their job.
But they take that job very seriously and won't give up. Soooo...
They get stuck. Trapped.
Stuck emotions behave like a short circuit -
fritzing, building pressure, looking for any way to get our attention.
That's what a trigger is.
Not a weakness or flaw.
Just an emotion with a job to finish trying to get our attention and complete its job.
And we did it to ourselves....
When you learn to work work WITH that signal,
the short circuit stops fritizing. .
a word about tentacles
...because triggers are not neatly organized into layers
Picture a tree with deep tangled roots. Only those above the ground are visible, but you know more lie beneath.
Or an octopus tucked into the rocks. You can only see the arms that are exposed. Remove one, and another becomes visible that had been hidden behind it.
In both cases - same creature, different arms.
If you do this work and find yourself triggered again by something that feels familiar, that doesn't mean the process isn't working. It means a different tentacle has surfaced.
A different facet of the same wound, or a different wound that feels similar —
either way, it only became visible once the first one cleared enough to reveal it.
This is actually good news. It means you're not going in circles. You're exposing more.
when you learn to work with the signal
identify the feeling underneath the reaction
....and let it do what it was always meant to do...
the charge dissipates.
The short circuit stops fritzing. The story built on that stuck feeling stops running the show.
here's what make this different than many approaches
by addressing the root emotion
...you're not just addressing one story.
You're neutralizing the emotional charge(s) connected to that same root, often more than you knew was there.
here's the thing...
YOU don't have to keep getting blindsided
Once you undertsand what triggers actually are,
a clear process for working with them
instead of against them will feel completely normal and natural.
A reaction may still happen, but now you know what it means.
and now you know what to do with it!
Have we met?
I'm Anne Wade - teacher, author, and StoryShifter.
As someone who spent decades getting tripped up by triggers that seemed to come out of nowhere, I know that tangle of anger, shame, and blame from the inside. The frustration of why does this keep happening? The exhaustion of trying harder and still ending up in the same place.
If any of that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
This work didn't come from studying. It came from living, then figuring out how to make sense of what living had taught me so it could be taught.
The most valuable ah-ha...
Triggers aren't the problem. They're the signal. They point straight back to our hidden stories and buried feelings - the ones we didn't choose and may not even know are there.
The Put Your Triggers to Work FOR You Masterclass 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.
M.Ed. in learning theory. Decades of experience in writing, teaching, and research. A lot of years of living this — and helping others find their way through it too.
I'm so glad you're here.

what you'll learn
what triggers actually are
Not a Character Flaw. Not a Weakness.
A trigger is an old lingering emotion trying to complete its job.
Emotions are supposed to take in everything around us, process it, and deliver guidance.
Then they're meant to move through and out of the body.
When they can't, they get trapped.
And a trapped emotion will keep
looking for any way to get your attention.
That's a Trigger.
