Triggers and Triumphs - Triggered by Success: When Growth Feels Unsafe

In this episode of Triggers & Triumphs, Brandon Couch explores a surprising but common struggle in recovery: the fear of success. Sometimes, growth can feel just as triggering as failure. Why? Because success challenges old identities, stretches our comfort zones, and can stir up imposter syndrome, guilt, or fear of relapse. Brandon shares how past trauma and limiting beliefs can make progress feel unsafe—and how to push through those internal roadblocks with faith, self-awareness, and support. If you’ve ever self-sabotaged just when things were getting better, this episode is for you.
