42 - Panel: Triggers

Healing for Male Survivors with Mike Chapman

This week, we have a panel discussion with three of my prior guests: Luke Wiersma, Daniel Eichelberger, and Dan Carlson. Today, we discuss triggers: What kind of things trigger you? Have you ever been triggered to a point where nothing really helped, and what did you do? Are there positive triggers? What should you do when you feel triggered? What causes triggers? Is there any value to experiencing triggers?
