David Haggerty, Neuroscientist and Beauty and The Brain co-host, joins Alessandra Torresani on a special episode of EmotionAL Support where they discuss Triggers. What are you triggers? How can we identify them? Should we try to prevent them from happening or do we embrace them? Maybe they started before they began to even show themselves! Addiction, Bipolar Disorder, Manic Episodes, Mom Shaming, Wisdom Teeth and more can be found in this episode!
