An End To Being Triggered With The 3 Principles

With Clare Downham

Do you find yourself reacting in ways that don’t feel like you? Perhaps you feel overwhelmed by emotion, stuck in patterns, or exhausted by your own responses. This course offers a quiet, powerful shift, from managing your triggers to understanding what they truly are. You’ll explore the nature of emotional experience through the lens of the 3 Principles, with warmth, clarity, and compassion. These lessons invite you to see beyond the surface of your reactions and discover the truth that’s been there all along: you are not broken, and your peace has never left you. Together, we’ll reflect on what emotions are really pointing to, why reactivity varies day to day, and how a simple insight can dissolve years of struggle. There are no tools to master or steps to remember. There is just a return to the calm that lives beneath your thinking. This course may be especially supportive if you often feel emotionally reactive, burned out, or overly responsible for how others behave. It’s for anyone who’s ready to loosen the grip of emotional triggers and explore a gentler way of being in the world. If you’re longing for relief, not through control or fixing, but through understanding, you’re in the right place.

Lesson 1

Starting With Compassion, Not Correction

Begin your journey with gentleness. In this first lesson, we explore how self-compassion opens the door to freedom from emotional reactivity. Instead of correcting or fixing yourself, you'll learn why judgment holds you back and compassion sets you free. From a 3 Principles perspective, there's nothing wrong with you, only something misunderstood.

Lesson 2

The Myth Of Universal Triggers

In this lesson, we explore the illusion of triggers. Why does the same situation spark a different emotional response depending on the day? From the 3 Principles understanding, there’s no such thing as a universal trigger, only thought believed in the moment. Discover how this realisation can dissolve reactivity at the root.

Lesson 3

Your Mood Creates Your Reality

Your emotional state changes everything. In this lesson, we look at how low mood thinking distorts what we see and why reactivity often comes not from others, but from a cluttered mind. Learn to recognise when not to trust your thinking and how this awareness alone can shift everything.

Lesson 4

When Labels Cloud Reality

What if the label is the trigger? In this lesson, we reflect on how concepts we use to label people's personalities narrow our thinking and create resistance. When you see others through the lens of past hurt, you limit what’s possible now. A shift in perception, rooted in the 3 Principles, can bring peace, even when behaviour doesn’t change.

Lesson 5

Emotions As Messengers, Not Problems

Instead of seeing emotions as evidence that something is wrong, what if we saw them as messengers? In this lesson, we explore how your feelings reflect your thought-created reality, not your circumstances. This simple yet powerful insight is one of the most freeing aspects of the 3 Principles.

Lesson 6

Emotions As A Guide To Wisdom

What if every emotion, even the hard ones, was trying to guide you back to clarity? In this lesson, we look at the built-in emotional guidance system that reveals the quality of your thinking. You’ll discover how your feelings can become a trusted companion on the journey to insight.

Lesson 7

Experience Is Created From The Inside Out

Everything you feel, see, and believe is shaped by thought in the moment. This lesson brings us home to the core of the 3 Principles: your experience is never created by other people or circumstances. From this understanding, freedom becomes possible.

Lesson 8

Reaction Is Not Required

Reacting is optional. In this lesson, we explore how noticing thought gives you a moment of choice, not to suppress or fix but to allow space for a new response. From this space, wisdom can speak, and peace can return.

Lesson 9

What Freedom Really Means

Freedom from triggers doesn’t mean you never feel anything. It means you’re not ruled by it. This lesson offers a clearer, deeper understanding of emotional freedom, not as perfection, but as presence. From this space, your resilience becomes self-evident.

Lesson 10

The Calm Beneath The Storm

You were never broken. You were simply believing thought. In this lesson, we return to the stillness beneath the noise, the peace that’s always been here. Nothing needs to be added or fixed. Just seen. And in that seeing, freedom lives.

Very well presented material and very relatable ordinary life experiences given as examples. Clear, warm and supportive. I learned a lot and feel I have tools at my disposal when I feel overwhelmed by emotions and the so called triggering.

Clare offers insight and clarity into what triggers us and how to move away from such situations. Her viewpoint is that it’s not outside situations that trigger us but what is happening within us at the time that colours our perceptions. A very beneficial course . Thank you Clare❤️🙏

This course allowed me to feel my emotions more and understand them. I listened to this course each day then felt it wasn’t quite with me, so I listened to it again on the same day, spending quality time, it really helped. Thank you for this course 🧡
