Episode 3050:
Judith Orloff, MD explains that emotional triggers are often rooted in old fears and false beliefs rather than reality, and that healing them can help highly sensitive people and empaths stop absorbing other people's emotional pain. Through self-awareness, journaling, reframing negative beliefs, and seeking support, she offers practical ways to build emotional resilience and reclaim a stronger sense of self.

Quotes to ponder:
"Your emotional triggers are wounds that need to heal. These beliefs are based on fears, and they are not reality."
"Empaths and HSPs are finely tuned instruments when it comes to emotions. They feel everything, sometimes to an extreme, and are less apt to intellectualize feelings."
"Healing your triggers is liberating because you won’t be thrown off or drained by people’s inappropriate comments."
