Calm Down When Triggered (A Havening Exercise for Emotional Well-being)

In a world full of triggers, discover the magic of soothing your amygdala for immediate emotional first aid!

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, Karena guides you through a Havening Exercise to calm down when triggered. This exercise is so powerful because it actually soothes the reactive parts of your emotional brain that get activated when emotional triggers come up for you.

We all get triggered sometimes. And it’s profoundly valuable and supportive to know how to nurture and support ourselves through those triggers. Instead of judging ourselves, repressing our feelings, numbing or simply spiraling out, we can actually learn to work with our emotional triggers in ways that soothe the reactive parts of our brains, deepen our self understanding and even heal from the wounds from the past that are at the roots of our triggers.

This is Part 1 in a 2 part series called “Help, I’m Triggered!” and this exercise is best used when you’re actively triggered and need to calm down.
