A practical, self-paced course exploring triggers, urges and repeating patterns. Learn to recognise what happens before a familiar response, understand what may be driving it, and use practical tools to create more choice around what happens next.
Includes real-life scenarios, reflective activities, fillable resources, knowledge checks and a Certificate of Achievement.
Our reactions don't always come out of nowhere. Often, there are situations, thoughts, feelings and familiar patterns happening before we even realise we've been triggered.
Understanding Your Triggers helps you slow that process down and begin recognising what's happening earlier.
Across five self-paced modules, you'll explore external and internal triggers, reactions, urges and repeating patterns, before learning practical ways to create a pause between an urge and your response.
You'll learn through straightforward information, R&R Real Life scenarios, personal reflection and practical downloadable tools that you can keep and return to.
This course includes:
Complete everything privately, online and at your own pace.
The aim isn't to judge your patterns. It's to understand them, because noticing what's happening can create more choice around what happens next.
