Rise Above Your Triggers: Unlocking Emotional Freedom and Leadership Power
We all know what it feels like to be triggered. A word, a situation, or even just a look can set off a wave of emotions that make it hard to stay grounded. For high achievers and leaders, these triggers can be particularly disruptive, affecting everything from decision-making to personal relationships. But what if you could transform these triggers into powerful tools for growth and freedom?
The Truth About Triggers
Triggers aren’t just random events that throw us off balance—they’re messengers pointing toward unresolved emotional layers that need to be cleared. When we’re triggered, it’s not just about what’s happening in the present moment. Often, our reactions stem from deeply rooted emotional patterns, past experiences, or unprocessed trauma stored in the subconscious. In fact, research shows that 95% of our reality is created by the subconscious mind, which holds onto these emotional imprints and shapes our perceptions and behaviors.
For leaders, this can show up as emotional reactivity in meetings, difficulty managing stress, or conflicts in personal relationships. The same patterns may keep emerging, making it seem like you’re dealing with the same issues repeatedly. But here’s the good news: triggers can actually be your greatest ally on the path to emotional freedom. By understanding and addressing what lies beneath them, you can release old patterns and rise above your limitations.
The Power of Emotional Clearing
With "The Ultimate Breakthrough Journey" (my version of The Spiral), a systematic approach to clearing the patterns around 22 emotions on the Scale of Consciousness, we can find true freedom. This process releases the emotional charge behind triggers, allowing you to step into a higher level of self-awareness and emotional freedom. It’s one of the fastest ways to clear the largest amount of emotional baggage, conditioning, and upper limits, so you can ignite your potential, create the life of your wildest dreams, and lead with inner certainty.
Emotions like shame, guilt, anger, and fear often lie at the core of our triggers. These emotions create energetic blocks that keep us stuck in reactive loops. For example, if guilt is one of your core emotional layers, you may find yourself overcompensating in your work, pushing too hard to prove your worth. If you don’t feel seen or understood, you might frequently get angry and snappy; you might feel defensive or lash out when you perceive criticism.
The good news is that by tapping into your body and using techniques like "kinesiology on steroids," which we can utilise via zoom from anywhere in the world, we can access the subconscious directly to release these emotional layers, energetic agreements, trauma, past life dimensions etc. When these layers are systematically cleared by their root, the triggers disappear or at least lose their intensity. You begin to notice that the same situations no longer provoke the same emotional responses. Instead of reacting impulsively, you gain the ability to pause, reflect, and choose a more empowered response, and often you forget that something triggered you in the first place, as the shifts get deeply embodied. This transformation not only enhances your emotional resilience but also strengthens your leadership capacity.
Case Study: Matt’s Journey to Emotional Freedom
Let’s look at a real-life example of how rising above triggers can transform your life. Matt* (*name has been changed for privacy reasons), a mentor and author, joined my "The Ultimate Breakthrough Journey" with a history of frequent emotional triggers. He found that certain situations—especially those involving conflict or criticism—would immediately set him off. This reactivity affected his relationships with his team, clients, and even his family.
Over the course of the eight-week journey, Matt worked through the patterns around the 22 emotions on the Scale of Consciousness, plus reconnected deeply with his potential and limitless version.
We began by clearing deeper layers of shame, guilt and dogma (‘the shoulds’), which helped dissolve the subconscious patterns behind his defensiveness and gave him a much more solid foundation within himself. As we progressed, the charges associated with anger and fear began to dissipate, allowing Matt to step into a state of calm and centeredness.
By the end of the process, Matt noticed a profound change. Situations that used to trigger him now felt manageable or completely fine. He no longer reacted impulsively; instead, he responded with clarity and intention. He learnt tools and skills to centre himself, set boundaries, manage his energy and communicate with clarity and authenticity. This newfound emotional freedom and self empowerment didn’t just improve his personal life—it also allowed him to lead from a place of inner strength and certainty. His interactions became more grounded and empowered, he found it easier to handle challenges with confidence and he created desired outcomes with much more calm and ease.
Soon after the journey, he shared that he was able to deepen his relationship with his partner to new levels of intimacy, published another bestselling book and launched a new successful program. He stopped holding back from being visible and started taking his career to the next level. His new found inner certainty and unlocked potential allowed him to go to new heights in his life and business, that he previously had only dreamt of.
And Matt’s results aren’t a once off. These stories are part of my everyday experience with my clients and I absolutely love what we co-create together!
How You Can Rise Above Your Triggers
Emotional freedom doesn’t mean you’ll never feel triggered again. Instead, it means that when triggers arise (and there will be way less), you have the tools to navigate them in a way that serves you. And although no prior knowledge is required to go on the Ultimate Breakthrough Journey, and it isn’t necessary for you to know and/or understand your triggers, here’s how you can start transforming your triggers into growth opportunities:
1. Identify Your Triggers
Awareness is the first step. Pay attention to situations that consistently provoke strong emotional reactions. Is it criticism? Feeling ignored? Conflict? Noticing these patterns will help you identify the underlying emotions that need to be addressed.
2. Explore the Root Cause
Once you identify a trigger, dig deeper to understand its origin. And although I can test for the root cause (no matter if it’s from in this life or past life etc) with speed and accuracy with kinesiology on steroids, you can start the inner journey by reflecting on questions such as;
Are there past experiences that may have contributed to this reaction? What beliefs do you hold about yourself or others when this trigger is activated? What do you make it mean about yourself? Exploring these questions can provide valuable insights into what needs to be released.
3. Release the Emotional Charge
Clearing the emotional charge behind a trigger involves acknowledging and allowing the feelings to surface, rather than suppressing them. This may require guidance from a practitioner or mentor.
With my unique approach fused with the systematic process of "The Ultimate Breakthrough Journey" (my life-changing version of The Spiral), I can help you release these deep-seated emotions and sensations effectively, swiftly and in a way that’s long lasting.
The great news: With my unique approach you neither have to talk a lot, if you don’t want to or don’t know how to put it into words (instead, we listen to your body and get to shift stuff really fast, potently and with ease), nor go into the depths of the feels. We can simply shift it in a profound way that leaves you feeling more centred, grounded, certain, solid and safe than (ever) before.
4. Choose a New Response
As the emotional charge dissipates, you’ll be able to respond to triggers in a new way.
With my work, I find that the initial charge won’t come up anymore in the same way. It’s either way less or non existent anymore. If the trigger is linked with your Core Survival Pattern however, you might find that it’ll need more attention which I hone into in my ongoing support options (1:1 and group available). That way, we can make sure you’re more and more embodied and triggers don’t just drop away and open loops closed, but you’ll find you’re able to navigate life and business in a very deliberate and conscious way.
Without my clearing tools, practicing choosing a new response could mean taking a moment to breathe before speaking, reframing the situation, or simply acknowledging your emotions without judgment. The goal is to create space between the trigger and your response.
When you rise above your triggers, you don’t just achieve emotional freedom; you also elevate your leadership.
The Ripple Effect of Rising Above Your Triggers
When you rise above your triggers, you don’t just achieve emotional freedom; you also elevate your leadership. Your interactions become more intentional, your energy more magnetic, and your decisions more aligned with your true purpose. You set the tone for your business, team, and even your personal relationships by leading from a place of calm and empowerment.
Moreover, when you’re no longer trapped in cycles of reactivity, you free up mental and emotional bandwidth for creativity, strategic thinking, and deeper connections with others. It’s not just about feeling better; it’s about showing up as the leader you’re truly capable of being—authentic, grounded, and unstoppable.
