✨ Week 3 – Reflection Questions
This week, we explore something many people try to avoid…but that actually holds powerful information about you: Your triggers. A trigger is not just a reaction. It is an emotional memory being activated in the present moment. Take a moment and reflect: – What situations or behaviours in others trigger a strong emotional reaction in me? – When I feel triggered, what emotion comes up first (anger, shame, fear, sadness)? – Does my reaction feel stronger than the situation itself? – What does this feeling remind me of? – When have I felt this way before in my life? Go deeper: – What story do I tell myself in that moment?(e.g. “I’m not important”, “I’m being rejected”, “I’m not safe”) – What do I feel the urge to do when triggered?(shut down, argue, withdraw, please, control…) And gently ask yourself: 👉 Am I reacting to what is happening now… or to something that happened before? 💛 Awareness of your triggers is not awarenessis. It is the beginning of emotional clarity and real change.

@Sylwia Kuchenna when I reflected on the questions deeper I actually came up with my kids not listening to me triggers me because I feel like they don't care about me and because I don't feel like enough already as a person then because of all of that I feel like I'm a bad mom. I still don't know if that is the bottom of the trigger or not. Do I keep asking what's under that until nothing else comes out or is the idea to just see that there's a belief under everything or in my case several beliefs stemming from my kids not listening and me making that mean something?
✨ Class 3 is now ready
We’re going deeper this week. In this class, we explore triggers—not as something to avoid, but as powerful signals that connect your present reactions to past experiences. You’ll begin to understand why certain situations feel so intense, and what your emotional responses are really trying to show you. Alongside the class, your homework is now available—focused on trigger tracking and pattern decoding. This is where insight turns into awareness. Take your time with it. This work is not about reacting differently yet… it’s about seeing clearly. 💛 I’d love to hear what comes up for you.

This is definitely a new light on triggers. Before this class I looked at them as bad. Today I see they are data!

@Sylwia Kuchenna Thank you

Now that we are a few classes into the course, I would love to hear from you. How are you finding the course so far? What thoughts, reflections, or insights have come up for you? Do you feel it has been helping you in any way already? Feel free to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. I really value your feedback and your experience throughout this journey together ✨

@Sylwia Kuchenna This class is fantastic!! Life changing. Finally for the first time ever I am learning why I do this, self compassion for doing it, how it's showing up now, self compassion for myself now, the pattern, and how to change our path and actually heal. Most classes give you bits and pieces and no real change steps. You are creating something that people don't need to spend years searching for, you have it all in 1 place. It's like here's the journey, heres the tools, here's the answers, now you do the work that actually needs done not what you or your neighbor or someone told you might help. You are ending the rabbit hole searches and constant hunt for something or because nothing is working and nothing ever changes. Your are also helping end the trauma we may be unintentionally inflicting on our family by helping us too. I'm so greatful for this opportunity to stop intellectualizing and start healing as it appears I've just been spending all this time for past few years in protection mode when I thought I was healing. So now I hopefully can start healing finally thank you to you ❤️ 💜
✨ Week 6 – Reflection Questions
This week, we explore something many people fear deeply without fully realising it… Emotional avoidance. Not avoiding situations— but avoiding feelings. Take a moment and reflect honestly: – Which emotions feel hardest for me to sit with? (anger, sadness, loneliness, fear, vulnerability…) – What do I usually do when uncomfortable emotions arise? (overthink, distract myself, stay busy, withdraw, scroll, eat, work, numb…) – Do I allow myself to fully feel emotions… or do I quickly try to escape them? – What emotions were not welcomed in my childhood? → – What happened when I expressed strong feelings growing up? → Go deeper: – Am I afraid that if I truly feel something, it will overwhelm me? – Do I confuse emotional control with emotional strength? – Do I intellectualise my feelings instead of experiencing them? Notice your patterns: – Do I stay constantly busy to avoid myself? – Do I seek external stimulation when silence feels uncomfortable? – Do I struggle to sit alone with my emotions? And gently ask yourself: 👉 What am I trying not to feel? 💛 Emotional avoidance protects you from pain temporarily… but it also keeps you disconnected from yourself.

@Sylwia Kuchenna I didn't realize this is actually what I have been doing for a very long time. I can see I'm stuck in learning mode and my body and brain are not connected. I am working on my body in small increments through somatics, yoga and breathing and completely separately learning with my brain and taking notes. I definitely need to learn how to connect the 2 together. Is there a process to integrate the mind body and soul like a specific steps I need to follow each day? Because in my mind I see them separately and am disconnected and unsure how to reconnect them. I want to learn and feel at the same time. I can see I avoid now and distract myself from feeling by always doing, learning, staying busy. I understand that the feeling you said growing up it was not the problem it was being alone with it that was. However if we don't have a support system now we are still alone with it. Is there a way to still work through this without support? Is there a way to show our adult selves it's ok to be alone now it's not the same as then? I definitely do not process things and glad we will learn how to process this all in coming classes. If we are always numbing out the feeling and avoiding , then when a feeling does arise how do we stay with it and not auto push it down, so how I guess do I stop the pattern from running in the moment or even recognize the feeling?
✨ Week 5 – Reflection Questions
This week, we explore something many people carry…but rarely speak about openly. Shame. Not just a feeling—but a way of seeing yourself. Take a moment and reflect: – When do I feel “not enough” or “too much”?– In what situations do I feel small, exposed, or judged?– What do I tell myself in those moments?(e.g. “There’s something wrong with me”) – Do I hide parts of myself from others? Which parts?– Do I struggle to receive compliments, care, or attention? Go deeper: – What was I made to feel ashamed of growing up?– How did others respond to my emotions, needs, or expression?– When did I first feel that who I am is not acceptable? Notice your patterns: – Do I people-please to avoid rejection?– Do I withdraw or shut down when I feel exposed?– Do I overcompensate through perfectionism or control? And gently ask yourself:👉 Am I reacting to reality… or to an old feeling of shame? 💛 Shame grows in silence.Awareness is the first step to loosening its hold.

This class about shame was very supportive. I found the shame addiction so interesting. I can see why we can get stuck there. It feels empowering to say this isnt my truth. I got more hope as we move through that I can change and heal this and undo it. Although a process it is one I'm grateful to have awareness about.
