If you’re TIRED OF BEING PULLED INTO REACTIONS THAT NO LONGER REFLECT WHO YOU ARE…
What you’re being called to do instead is to learn how to work with yourself when emotions arise — so you’re no longer drawn into old patterns that are no longer right for you.

NEUTRALIZING EMOTIONAL TRIGGERS
This series guides you to know how to work with yourself when emotions arise, so your past no longer has the same hold over how you respond, relate, and live
This is not about fixing yourself, it’s about learning how to work with yourself.
When emotions arise you want to recognize when and why they’re surfacing, and trust yourself to know what to do with them
You Feel Like You're On An Emotional Roller Coaster
When emotions activate, it can feel like you lose access to yourself in the moment. You know you’re capable of responding differently, but something takes over before you have the chance to pause, choose, or stay grounded. You just haven’t yet learned how to work with yourself when emotions arise.
The Smallest Things Can Set You Off
It's as if a single look, tone, or word can tip the scales. Despite their smallness and seemingly insignificance, these triggers feel monumental, and the resulting reactions can leave you feeling ashamed, especially when they affect the people closest to you. You push the people you care about away.
You Fear Repeating The Same Reactionary Patterns
You find yourself caught in the same emotional loops, even when you know better. You’ve done work on yourself, you’re more aware than you used to be, and yet in certain moments you still react in ways that don’t reflect who you are now. Over time, this can create doubt, not just about whether change is possible, but about whether you can actually trust yourself when emotions are activated.
There Are Certain People And Situations You Avoid
Not because you don’t care, but because you don’t trust what might come up in you. You avoid certain conversations, people, or situations because you don’t want to be drawn into reactions you’ll later regret, or emotions you don’t feel equipped to handle in the moment. Avoidance becomes a way of protecting yourself, even though part of you knows it’s also keeping you small, distant, or disconnected.
I SO KNOW what this feels like...
There was a time when my reactions strained relationships and friendships.
Some people pulled back, and I carried a lot of guilt and self-blame about that. Over time, this only deepened my sense of rejection and disconnection from myself.
It felt like unresolved moments from my past that just kept resurfacing
It took learning how to work with myself differently to break the pattern, but once I understood the process, things began to change
I'm Melinda, and this was a life changing for me
I was an expert at reacting. I had a great teacher, my dad.
I learned early to read into what people said and did, to take things personally, and to respond from that place. In the moment, it felt automatic, familiar and completely normal.
Over time, I began to see the impact of that way of relating, on my relationships, on how safe people felt around me, and on the guilt and self-rejection I carried afterward.
It took a crisis for me to realize something had to change, not who I was, but how I worked with my emotions when they arose.
What shifted everything wasn’t more insight or better language. It was learning a different way of relating to myself in those moments, learning how to be with my emotions, take responsibility for my responses, and work with what was actually happening inside me.
I don’t want you to reach a breaking point to learn this.
This video series exists so you can stay ahead of the pattern, so you can build the capacity to recognize what’s happening when emotions arise, understand why they’re there, and know how to work with them at the time you feel them.
Discovering this process didn’t make emotions disappear. It gave me something far more valuable, choice.
I still have emotional moments. The difference now is that I know how to work with them, understand them, and respond in a way that aligns with who I am.
IMAGINE TRUSTING YOURSELF IN EMOTIONAL MOMENTS, RATHER THAN BEING OVERTAKEN BY THEM
IMAGINE
- Being able to connect the dots between triggers, emotions, and what’s actually happening underneath, without spiralling or self-judgment.
- Recognising a familiar emotional moment and choosing to pause, rather than reacting automatically.
- Working with your emotions as they arise, instead of fighting them, suppressing them, or being ruled by them.
- Noticing a growing sense of steadiness and self-trust as you respond in ways that align with who you are now.
- Experiencing shifts in your relationships as your responses change, clearer communication, fewer misunderstandings, and less emotional energy.
- Letting go of unnecessary drama, not because you’re avoiding it, but because you no longer need it to feel safe or seen.

The NEUTRALIZING EMOTIONAL TRIGGERS video-series
We begin by changing how you understand what’s actually happening when you react.
In the first video, we look at how emotional triggers actually form, as they are something learned and protective. You’ll clarify why certain situations activate you, why reactions happen so fast, and why awareness alone hasn’t been enough to change them. This is about understanding your emotional process so you can work with it, rather than being taken over by it.
Next, we look at how triggers and emotions became linked for you in the first place.
This part of the series helps you understand how certain emotions came to carry so much energy and impact. You explore how past experiences, moments of overwhelm, and unmet needs influenced the way emotions show up now and how they are a pattern. As this becomes clearer, triggers begin to make sense. You’re no longer confused by them or caught off guard when they arise.
Then we delve into and look at what actually happens when you react.
Here we walk through the moment-by-moment process of reacting, what happens in your body, your emotions, and your thinking when something is activated. You grow in your recognition of the early signals that you’re being drawn into a reaction, often before anything is said or done. This awareness creates space for you to stay with with yourself long enough to respond differently, rather than repeating the same patterns automatically.
Here you learn how to respond instead of react, and how to work with yourself when emotions are activated.
In the fourth video, you’re introduced to responding. You learn how to interrupt the cycle of emotional reactions and work with yourself in the moment, rather than being driven by what’s been triggered. This video walks you through the responding process step by step, so you can meet your emotions, understand what’s happening, and influence how situations unfold, instead of repeating the same reactions.
Then you explore how to work with your emotions proactively, so they no longer build, escalate, or take you by surprise.
you'll delve into enhancing your ability to proactively manage your emotions as a powerful strategy for preempting potential triggers. You'll learn effective methods for processing emotions before they escalate into triggers, allowing you to maintain greater emotional stability and control. Additionally, you'll explore various approaches to actively engage with and shape your emotional responses, empowering you to navigate challenging situations with resilience and confidence.
When Grief Sits Beneath Emotional Reactions
In the additional video, you’re guided to work with grief, not as something to fix or rush through, but as an experience that needs space, understanding, and presence. When grief is met rather than avoided, it no longer sits underneath reactions or resurfaces unexpectedly.
TESTIMONIALS
SUSIE FARRUGIA
I loved this series and highly recommend that others take it up as it is a very useful tool for emotional triggering and how to process it .
Let’s face it…whoever says they are never triggered is lying !!!!!
I love Melinda’s emotional literacy and ability to communicate about emotions and processing in a clear, honest and insightful way engaging mind, heart, and soul.
Couldn’t have come at a better time both for me and what the world needs right now!
Thanks Melinda xx
CARRIE INGLES GRONEMAN
Recently, I had a situation that brought back memories and events that I had blocked out due to hurt and fear. Through using the ‘Processes’ taught in this course, I was able to handle those feelings in an incredibly constructive manner because of the step-by-step methods given through Melinda’s course instructions.
Taking this course has provided me with invaluable tools and skills that have already had a positive impact on my life. For example, I am now aware of the importance of recognizing my emotions and evaluating what I want to achieve in situations. I now realize that I have been taking responsibility for other people’s decisions in order to minimize their hurt – which does not allow them to take ownership of their own choices and actions. Not helpful for them or myself.
In this course, Melinda opened my eyes to the fact that I can let go of any negative emotions associated with a past event and turn them into a positive, growth-oriented experience.
Neutralizing Emotional Triggers is for EVERYONE!
making friends with your emotions strengthens your relationship with yourself
