In today’s Homework Help session, we dove into identifying limited beliefs and processing triggering events. Participants shared their experiences and explored the importance of regulating emotions before communicating needs or setting boundaries. We walked through the process of analyzing triggering events to uncover underlying beliefs like “I am unheard” or “I don’t matter” and discussed how to separate emotions from perceptions when processing them. Writing down thoughts and feelings was emphasized as a powerful tool for gaining clarity. We also discussed creating a protective "bubble"—a healthy form of self-protection that involves healing wounds rather than building walls.

Keywords: limited beliefs, emotional regulation, boundaries, triggering events, self-protection, attachment wounds, journaling, group support, vulnerability, communication.
