Best tips/thoughts for avoiding blow up holes? I’m an 8 but lose almost all my shots on two or three holes (usually triples)

Try and make up for lost shots less frequently. If you hit one out or in the water, instead of playing aggressively, play safe and take the bogey - better than the risk of losing another and taking a triple.

How do you usually blow up? Is it a wayward drive and you struggle to scramble? Do you lose strokes arounds the greens (multiple chips / 3+ putts)? A little context and I can shoot some advice...

Agreed with D1, context would help a bit. Something that really helped me was on holes I have a history of playing poorly, instead of focusing on the negative that could happen, commit to every shot. I can sleep easier knowing I pulled the club and swung aggressively as opposed to a tentative swing where I’m trying to avoid disaster.

Don’t be a hero. For example, when I hit driver into the trees I’ve stopped trying to pull off the miracle bubba hook through a small window to get on in 2. Now I find a line where I can advance the ball up the fairway with minimal risk and then give myself a chance to get on in 3 from a clean open lie. If I make the put for par, great. Worst case I walk away with a 2-put bogey.
