This captivating video triggers a flood of painful memories from the end of my 6 year relationship just 3 months ago. The woman I loved with all my heart chose to walk away, leaving me grappling with an insurmountable sense of loss. Despite my relentless efforts to salvage what we had, I'm left feeling disillusioned and unable to imagine a future without her. Despite my attempts to move on, I'm drawn to express my deep-seated longing for her here.

Great presentation. Don’t take anger personally. Avoid getting triggered. Stay in your kindness.

@HouseJug

Method:
Be aware of yourself and how you feel
Don’t take it personally, there’s probably something else going on
Remain centred on your values instead of being defensive 
Respond in kindness to the other persons need first

@weili1963

Emotional intelligence. First healed and become healthy; then awareness and practice, respond to the other person's need first with love and empathy (in faith and emotional laws)

@sadiaarman363

When you are triggered, ask yourself: 
1) What is being triggered?
2) What am I afraid of?
2) What is underneath that?
3) How do I need to heal to ensure it doesnt happen in the future? 
We have a rational brain and an emotional brain, and the emotional just overrides the rational. We need to understand the dynamics of how emotions work in all of us if we are to handle relationships well. Actually the same emotional dynamics work inside every single person.

@RobynAdAbsurdum

Sometimes, responding with compassion can lead the other person to continue their triggering behaviors. Sometimes, he really is cheating or being unfair, and being kind just enables his behavior while devaluing your own self worth.

@taryntornado

Yes we need to teach our children how to identify and handle their emotions.

Summarize:
»Awareness.
»Avoid getting triggered. 
»Respond to the other person's need FIRST with love and empathy.

Questions you need to ask urself when ur getting triggered:
1. What's getting triggered in me? 
2. What am I afraid of? 
3. What's underneath of that? 
4. What do i need to heal in me to not respond like this again in thr future?

@runninginsept

'You cannot be triggered into an emotional reaction unless there is a receptor field inside you that's interacting with the trigger.' 

This is something all empathic people understand of others instinctually, and it's wonderful to be defined so clearly.

@ForzaTerra89

This is something I’m very good at. The day I left my ex I was using all of these skills and showing that patience and understanding and I could just see he wasn’t capable of that and the more kindness, calm and understanding I showed the worse he treated me so I left as that’s when I knew things would never get better

@Lanamarri36712

Unfortunately the seeds of doubt and fears  are planted in our childhood and get reinforced by those who trigger us. I remember when I was 4 riding my tricycle with my long curly hair flowing and tassels on my handlebars without a care in the world feeling invincible ... that was a time when no one could trigger me ... we can’t be children forever but we can get back to that invincible feeling of self love and happiness in our hearts.  It takes restraint and loving others and not being reactionary to everything everyone says to us. I  now counteract negativity with positive loving responses. It works 💜

@MsBuchnerd

I never thought about this before, but honestly why isn't there a "Social Interactions" subject in schools?

@motivatetalkswithk486

This made my eyes close to tears meantime flushed with happiness for realizing something I never knew

@living9377

This is one of the great Tedx I have watched. Great lessons. Great speaker. Thanks for sharing!

@MonikaMonikaaD

Heal your receptor fields. -

1. What's getting triggered in me? 
2. What am I afraid of ? 
3. What's underneath of that?
4. What do I need to heal in me to not respond like this I'm future?

@zanderpusward7250

I think the speakers points are valid and pretty well explained. The aim is to limit 'excessive' response by understanding the cause and thus reducing conflict.
But even with understanding not every relationship, personal or professional, is fixable as the speaker demonstrated. Especially if the other half of the equation is unresponsive.
Sometimes the anger is righteous and all you can do is try to limit the damage to yourself and innocent bystanders.

@notmynaam5489

Wowww!she should teach at a university as a class. Talented and intelligent woman! GOD BLESS HER

@autumnoleary3076

This is nearly identical to the concepts and skills that DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) lays out. It was developed particularly for people struggling with mood lability, emotional dysregulation, and interpersonal issues. Whether you suffer from a mental illness, that exasperates these human qualities or not, this is such valuable information for a better quality life. I loved the way she explained it, in a palatable sense for most people to understand. And want!

@rlew8095

This video changed my life!  I had to watch it about 5 times to understand it totally.   Things with my girlfriend kept getting worse, and I kept trying to fix it. She was at the point where  I did everything to fix it, she took it as a negative, instead of something positive.  So it kept snow balling.... the more I tried to fix it, the worse it got.  Now her and I understand why, and can keep fixing it together... with good attitudes.  Thanks so much!!  Where can I find more videos of your talks?  Didn't see anymore on YouTube.

@evelouise3028

She deserved way more laughs, the hilarious, classy, gorgeous, intelligent woman that she is! I reeeeaaallly enjoyed this.. I get it now.. Click.
