About this listen

For anyone rebuilding a life after addiction or incarceration, the world often appears to be a minefield of potential triggers. These aren't just minor annoyances; they are powerful sensory and emotional cues, potent reminders that can, in a flash, yank you back into old patterns of thinking and behavior, often without conscious thought or control. Understanding precisely what triggers are, how they operate within the mind and body, and developing a robust, proactive plan to effectively manage them is not merely a helpful strategy or an optional step; it is, in fact, a fundamental and indispensable pillar of lasting recovery. It's the intricate art of learning to carefully navigate this metaphorical minefield, moving forward day by day, without setting off an explosion that could undo all the hard-won progress.
