TnT Accountability
What's TnT?
TnT stands for Trauma and Triggers, a cognitive mindfulness technique designed to help individuals understand how past wounds and present stimuli interact. Just like explosive material, human trauma becomes volatile when activated by triggers.
Many of our reactions do not come from the moment we are in. They come from the emotional residue of moments we survived.
-
Trauma: Past events or emotional injuries that shaped our core survival strategies: fight, flight, freeze, or appease.
-
Triggers: Present-day cues, words, tones, situations, environments, that “detonate” old emotional patterns connected to unresolved, unhealed trauma.
The TnT model teaches that unprocessed trauma + unrecognized triggers = human inefficient behavior, which are thoughts, words, behaviors misaligned with kindness, love, integrity, respect, peace, grace, wisdom, … etc.
What's the next move?
Human connection is where we:
-
Heal
-
Practice emotional regulation
-
Find and align with common denominators
-
Learn from each other’s stories
-
Shift perspective
-
Strengthen identity with purpose
-
rewire reactions
-
restore wholeness
In a world often driven by competition, image, and social constructs, the HEO Mindfulness framework anchors us to shared values in our humanity. It’s about empowering individuals and organizations to be curious, accountable, excited, and unconditionally resilient; so that every human connection can be optimized for kindness, love, integrity, respect, and peace.
At the heart of this approach is a simple truth: human connection is our most valuable asset. Everything else, money, status, convenience, should serve and enhance it, not replace it.
We all want the same basics: happiness, security, sustenance, and love. We all breathe the same air. That breath is a constant reminder that we share more than we often acknowledge. Understand your TnT and that we all are dealing with our own internal explosive device (IED)
