Pull up a barstool and join the conversation. Trigger Happy Hour is where therapy meets real talk; unfiltered, unapologetic, and healing. Hosted by Black mental health professionals, this show dives deep into the emotional triggers we face in our families, relationships, and communities.
Each episode breaks down the mental health stigma that’s often swept under the rug, especially in the Black community. From tough family dynamics to personal growth and self-sabotage, we’re unpacking it all. One trigger at a time.
So grab your drink, take a deep breath, and let’s heal out loud together.

Trigger Happy Hour's Podcast
How do I know if my relationship is toxic?

Welcome to the Trigger Happy Hour — where we take shots of the truth straight, no chase.
Today’s topic? Toxic Relationships.
In this episode, we’re getting real about what toxicity really looks like — not just the dramatic stuff, but the subtle, sneaky patterns we often overlook until we’re deep in it.
We break down:
✔ What truly defines a toxic relationship (it’s more than just arguing)
✔ How manipulation, inconsistency, gaslighting, and emotional unavailability show up
✔ Why we stay even when it hurts — the trauma bonds, the hope, the cycles
✔ The emotional, mental, and physical impact toxicity has over time
And most importantly, we talk about:
✔ How to recognize your own triggers
✔ How to set boundaries that don’t fold under pressure
✔ How to reclaim your peace, your self-worth, and your voice
✔ What healthy connection actually looks like after toxicity
Whether you’re healing from a breakup, questioning a friendship, navigating family drama, or simply working on your own patterns, this episode gives you clarity, language, and tools to break cycles — not your spirit.
