When a "button" gets pushed, we think we are reacting or responding to the "something" that is happening at that moment.
But if you take a couple deep breaths and step back into observer mode, you will often see that the intensity of your reaction seems extreme for the situation itself. This observation is not about passing judgment on yourself or telling yourself you are "overreacting" but about opening the door to ask the question, "what is really going on here?" "What am I really reacting to?" We will discuss all those beliefs, stories, and painful situations from the past, the ones with the emotional charges that we carry with us into the present and project into the future. Those are our buttons.
