Slide 1
🎯 Triggers: The Emotional “DO NOT PUSH” Button
Someone says one thing — and boom — you're fired up.
Slide 2
⚠️ They Might Not Even Know They Hit It
Could be an old wound. Could be ego. Could just be Tuesday.
Slide 3
🔥 We All Get Triggered Sometimes
It’s not weird. It’s human. But blowing up over socks on the floor? Not helpful.
Slide 4
🧘♂️ Pause Before You Pounce
Take a breath. Buy yourself 5 seconds. Or 5 min. Whatever it takes. (Yes — like a grown man with a calm button.)
Slide 5
🗣️ Then Say What’s Up — Without the Blowtorch
Talk it out. No yelling. No blame. Just truth, straight up.
Slide 6
💪 Manage the Trigger
Dont ignore it. Dont explode.
Just handling it like a guy who’s done the work.
Slide 7
🏗️ Better Conversations Build Better Relationships
Less drama. More respect.
And yes — fewer arguments over dishes.
