Why We React the Way We Do

Sometimes we overreact to small things because they touch something deep inside us.
A raised voice may trigger memories of being scolded.
A delay in attention may remind you of being ignored as a child.
These are triggers; present moments that reopen old wounds.

The problem isn’t always what’s happening now; it’s what it reminds us of.
Our hearts store memories that shape our perception of people and situations.

But here’s the good news: God can rewire your responses. Through awareness and His truth, He can teach you to respond differently with peace, not pain.

Ask Him to show you the triggers in your life. Healing begins with understanding.
