Trauma Series – Why Do I Feel So Triggered?
In this episode of The Reviving Christian Families Podcast, we’re working on understanding trauma triggers—why they happen, how they’re tied to our brain’s natural threat system, and what we can do to navigate them with grace.
Here’s what you’ll learn: 👉 What trauma triggers are and why they can feel so intense. 👉 The science behind triggers—how the amygdala plays a role in hijacking our responses. 👉 Why your reactions might feel “irrational” (hint: it’s connected to past trauma). 👉 How to identify your personal triggers and take steps toward healing. 👉 Practical tools to regulate your nervous system, including grounding exercises, Scripture, and faith-based encouragement.
Have you ever been overwhelmed by a reaction that felt bigger than the situation called for?
Maybe you’ve thought: 💭 “Why did that comment make me so upset?” 💭 “I know they didn’t mean it that way, so why can’t I let it go?” 💭 “Why do I feel like I’m back in that horrible moment from years ago?”
You’re not alone.
If you’ve ever been caught off guard by a strong emotional reaction and wondered, “What’s wrong with me?”—this episode is here to remind you that nothing is wrong with you. Triggers are part of the healing process, and with understanding and tools, you can begin to respond with peace instead of panic.

Are you a Christian wife feeling alone in your marriage? Struggling to communicate in your marriage? Feeling disconnected, or stuck in the same fights and resentment in your marriage? Yeah, that was me too.
Marriage may feel hard right now, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. You may feel completely disconnected and withdrawn, but being UNITED is possible for your marriage!
I was married at 18, after having a baby, and had no family support while I navigated it all. Yet, as a young wife, I was still able to go from constant arguing, crying, and pain to thriving in my marriage.
How? Well, this podcast is all about the first step on the journey, which is unifying your marriage. To do that, connected Christian couples (aka the two people who make up a ”United Marriage”) need to know how to communicate.
In this podcast, I will walk you through the biblical design for marriage, teach you how to be a biblical wife, and bring my husband on occasionally so you can grab your husband and have a moment to be united as you listen to the show and grow together.
→ Welcome to The United Christian Marriage Podcast, where we teach you how to truly become ONE in your marriage. We talk about real issues that are keeping you feeling lonely, divided, and resentful in your marriage. And, we give you practical steps to overcome them so you can have the United Marriage of your dreams.
You know, the kind of marriage where you can’t wait to be with your spouse, and you both light up when you are in the same room!
We do this by teaching self-coaching (communication) tools, biblical wisdom, and our real-life experience on how you can grow yourself as a person, a wife, and make a real impact on your marriage.
Hi, I’m Micaiah, a Christian (trauma-informed) marriage coach who helps Christian couples (especially Christian wives) communicate efficiently, so they can stop arguing and start falling in love with each other again. I am also a certified life coach through the Mind Firm Method by The Coach Firm!

Here, we get practical about:
✅ How to communicate in your marriage
✅ Setting boundaries that protect your marriage & family
✅ Navigating different ideas & expectations with your spouse
✅ Healing trauma & breaking generational cycles
✅ Strengthening your marriage while healing from the past
✅ Overcoming anxiety, technology addiction, and stress in marriage
