The Trigger Map
Discover what happens inside you when something hits a nerve—and what your reaction may be trying to show you.
The Trigger Map helps you understand what happens inside you when something hits a nerve.
In about seven minutes, you’ll explore one real-life trigger, discover which inner archetype was activated, and see how it shaped your response. You’ll also identify the feeling, need, or boundary beneath the reaction—and one practical step toward responding with greater awareness and choice.
No diagnosis. No fixed labels. Just a clearer map of what happened and what your trigger may be trying to show you.
The Six Archetypal Capacities
Each archetype represents a necessary human capacity. When you are triggered, one may become especially urgent. Your result does not show which archetypes are stronger, healthier, or more developed—it shows which capacity your system recruited in one particular moment.
King
The King is your capacity for agency, order, decision, direction, and self-government.
Warrior
The Warrior is your capacity for protection, boundaries, courage, confrontation, and action.
Sage
The Sage is your capacity for understanding, discernment, perspective, truth, and meaning.
Lover
The Lover is your capacity for connection, desire, intimacy, belonging, and emotional recognition.
Caregiver
The Caregiver is your capacity for compassion, support, repair, tending, and responsible care.
Trickster
The Trickster is your capacity for adaptation, flexibility, creativity, disruption, and new possibilities.
