Listen "7. Mirrors & Shadows – Why we get triggered by others"
Episode Synopsis
Episode Summary: Mirrors & Shadows – Why We Get Triggered by OthersIn this episode, we explore how the people who irritate or trigger us often act as mirrors, reflecting back the parts of ourselves we’ve hidden, rejected, or left unhealed. Drawing on Carl Jung’s concept of the shadow, we unpack why triggers show up, what they reveal about our inner world, and how to work with them as opportunities for growth instead of sources of conflict.You’ll hear everyday examples of shadow projections — like judging someone’s confidence, laziness, or emotional expression — and discover how these reactions can point to qualities we’ve suppressed in ourselves. We’ll also share practical steps for working with triggers, from pausing before reacting to journaling and practising compassion.By the end of this episode, you’ll see that triggers aren’t flaws to avoid but powerful invitations to heal, reclaim lost parts of yourself, and build deeper compassion for others.
