Pastor Mike Signorelli taught that confronting the same trigger that caused you to fail can let you rewrite your response. Taylor struggled with burnout and nervous-system dysregulation, fearing the pain of facing what broke him. After eight months of holding that space, both moved through it.
I was listening to Mike Signorelli, pastor from V1 Church, talking about being in fight or flight, talking about when Peter denied Jesus 3 times. He was by a fire, a charcoal fire, and then he took him back to that charcoal fire and he asked him, do you love me? And he declared his love 3 times. And Pastor Mike was like, he had to go experience the same trigger that he failed in, like smelling the smoke, being in the situation. And have an opportunity to rewrite that trigger and mean something else and get redemption out of it. And I was just like, that is so good. Oh my gosh. And I feel like that is what I see with you. Taylor tells stories about how he used to come to you and say, what does God say? What should I be doing? And you would be like the interpreter because he was afraid to be triggered and to go into that deep pain of healing and do all of those things. And at some point, I think you said— Like, you gotta ask God for yourself, right? And so he had to go back and experience the pain and the triggers to rewrite it and come out on the other side. And so I just think it's so cool that you held the space for him, but then when you no longer could hold it, God took over, helped you heal, and then he worked on Taylor. I would love for you to speak to that a little bit because it's important for women to understand And sometimes you have to feel more pain before you get to the other side. And it is a process. Like, 8 months to me sounds pretty darn quick to recover from burnout and adrenal fatigue and nervous system dysregulation.
