You'd thought about it.
You knew what you wanted to say. How you wanted to respond. What you weren't going to do again.
And then something happened.
A tone. A look. Something they said. Triggered you
And the old response came straight back.
Going quiet. Backing down. Over-explaining. Snapping. Trying to make everything okay again.
You can know exactly what you want to do differently. But when something still has emotional charge attached to it, getting triggered can pull you straight back into the response you were trying to change.
That's the bit I work with.
Not just knowing why you do it.
Working with what still gets activated in the moment, so the old response gets less say in who you get to be now.
