Come on out for a new topic each week. Meet Amie, smile, laugh, chat, and enjoy the ambiance of this warm coffee shop together. This week's topic is Shields and Triggers.

Here are the questions we will be discussing:

  • What is a small thing that unexpectedly sets you off and what do you think it's really about?
  • Can you describe a time when environmental sensations caused you to feel overwhelmed or on edge?
  • What kinds of physical sensations did you noticed when your guard was up?
  • When you feel triggered, do you tend to shut down, over-explain, fight back, withdraw, or jump in to fix? How does your reaction shift depending on who you’re with or the situation?
  • When you realize you are triggered from something environmental, is there something that you've been able to do to help soothe that feeling?
  • What does "protecting" someone else look like for you?
  • Have you been in a situation when protecting someone crossed into overprotecting?
  • When you feel you are in defense mode, what physical sensation tells you it's time to pause, and how do you relax when that happens?
  • What helps you emotionally reset and brings you back to a sense of safety or calm?

Join us in this safe, inclusive, casual, and accepting environment where dialogue is encouraged over debate as each person has opportunity to share from their own diverse perspectives and experiences.

Folks in this group enjoy going beyond small talk, reflecting both inward and outward, helping build pathways for more peace and understanding in the world... and your voice matters!

No particular set of beliefs (or creed) is required to be a part of this community-building activity. Diverse perspectives are welcome.

Whether to discover yourself amidst a community on a common journey or to find meaning among new friends, there is room at the table for you.
