Summary

Dr. John Trentalange introduces the trigger wound exercise, a tool to help individuals understand and change their emotional triggers. The exercise involves drawing four boxes and connecting them with arrows to represent the relationship between triggers, past experiences, internal messages, and emotions. By becoming aware of their emotions and examining their internal messages, individuals can change how they interpret events and ultimately change how they feel. Dr. John shares his personal journey of healing from a difficult past and emphasizes the importance of therapy and self-awareness in the healing process.
