Understanding Relationship Triggers: Insights from Relationship Coach Marlena Tillhon

In relationships, triggers are common occurrences, often stemming from various underlying reasons. While individuals typically seek relationships as spaces for open communication and emotional exchange, triggers can disrupt this dynamic, creating distance and disturbances. These triggers may result in miscommunication, frustration, and ultimately, resentment, potentially leading to relationship strain or even separation.

Awareness of the causes behind our triggers can empower us to address issues constructively. Relationship Coach Marlena Tillhon offers insights into why triggers manifest in relationships:

  1. Feeling offended or disrespected: Respect forms a cornerstone of healthy relationships. When individuals perceive constant suppression, offense, or disrespect, they become prone to feeling triggered. Insensitive remarks or offensive behavior from a partner can often lead to heated arguments.

 

  1. Not feeling considered or cared for: Mutual care and appreciation are crucial in any relationship. When one feels neglected or undervalued, it can trigger doubts about their significance within the relationship, fostering feelings of discontent.

 

  1. Feeling scared or intimidated: Past trauma or heightened sensitivity to mood fluctuations in a partner can act as triggers. These triggers may resurface old wounds, leading to heightened emotional reactions and instability within the relationship.

 

  1. Sensing a threat to the relationship: Perceiving potential threats to the connection with a partner can evoke fear and insecurity, prompting reactive behaviors that strain the relationship further.

Understanding these triggers can pave the way for healthier communication and conflict resolution within relationships.
