Trigger Talks & Tea Time — Understanding Triggers & Trauma in the Brain
Sis, have you ever recoiled unexpectedly—whether at a sound, sight, or reminder—and wondered why your body reacted so intensely?
Neuroscience shows that trauma triggers aren’t just emotional—they’re wired into our brains.
Areas like the amygdala, prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and anterior cingulate cortex are all involved in how trauma rewires our fight-flight responses and alters memory, decision-making, and emotional regulation. These changes can lead to patterns of hypervigilance, distorted recall, or impulsivity.
To dive deeper into where and how these triggers form inside your brain, check out this TED Talk:
“The psychology of post-traumatic stress disorder” by Joelle Rabow Maletis

Reflect & Respond:
1. What insight from the video hit you loudest?
2. Recognizing how your brain processes trauma—how does that shift your relationship with your triggers?
3. Share one small action you can take today when a trigger hits (even if it's just taking a breath or naming the reaction).
Let’s turn knowledge into healing, together. Drop your reflections below, Queen. 💖
