We asked Madison if shutting down or lashing out isn’t an option when trust issues are triggered, then what? She advises, “The first thing to do is to take a few deep breaths. Try to calm yourself, and your body down. Typically when we are triggered, it is not just experienced mentally, but our body experiences it as well. So it is helpful to breathe deep and slow breaths to soothe your sympathetic nervous system.”
