Why This Gets Under My Skin: A Live Trigger Workshop

The Story

**Tuesday\, October 13\, 2026 \| 6:30–8:00 PM Mountain Time** **Online via Zoom \| Free** Do you go quiet the moment you feel criticized? Over-explain until the other person finally understands? Pursue harder when someone pulls away - or pull away the moment someone gets too close? Do it often enough, and a protective reaction can begin to feel like: **“That’s just who I am.”** Maybe. Or maybe that’s how you learned to protect yourself. A trigger can feel like proof that someone else is the problem. Sometimes they really are behaving badly. But the intensity of what happens inside you may also carry important information - about a boundary, an old fear, an unmet need, or a part of your own power you’ve learned not to use. In this live, guided 90-minute workshop, relationship coach Aaron King will lead everyone through one recent, manageable trigger using a clear step-by-step process. First, you’ll work privately with the questions as Aaron guides the group. Then, up to three volunteers will have the opportunity to explore their patterns more directly with Aaron. A fourth volunteer may be invited only if time allows. Volunteering is entirely optional, and individual coaching is not guaranteed. You are welcome to participate quietly and keep your reflections private throughout the workshop. The goal is not to excuse harmful behavior, blame yourself, force forgiveness, or convince you that you’re overreacting. It is to separate what actually happened from what your nervous system believed was happening - so you can decide what the moment really calls for. **The trigger is the bell - not the verdict.** ### In this workshop, you’ll learn how to: * Map one recent moment that got under your skin * Separate what happened from the meaning your mind gave it * Recognize your automatic protective reaction * Understand what that reaction was trying to prevent or protect * Distinguish a present-day boundary from an old pattern * Choose one clearer, more self-trusting response
