đź“ť Episode Summary:
In this episode of The Trigger and The Truth, Tina White takes us deep into a pattern many of us fall into: using one painful experience as the paintbrush to color every person, relationship, or opportunity that reminds us of that hurt.
This is what I call “The Broad Stroke.” It feels like protection, but in reality, it limits us. When we place people in categories they don’t belong in, we stop seeing them for who they are and start seeing them as ghosts of our past. That cycle not only keeps us stuck—it can poison our relationships, our careers, and even our ability to trust ourselves.
Through real-life reflections, including examples from the workplace and relationships, this episode explores:
- How broad strokes create self-fulfilling prophecies.
- Why mislabeling people damages connection and growth.
- The mental health impact of carrying old wounds into new spaces.
- A path toward breaking the loop, reclaiming peace, and protecting your nervous system.
đź’ˇ This is a healing episode for anyone tired of being triggered by memories, mistrust, or old narratives that no longer serve you.
