Publisher's summary

Work with your triggers to find peace in the painful moments and lasting emotional well-being.

Psychotherapist David Richo examines the science of triggers and our reactions of fear, anger, and sadness. He helps us understand why our bodies respond before our minds have a chance to make sense of a situation. By looking deeply at the roots of what provokes us - the words, actions, and even sensory elements like smell - we find opportunities to understand the origins of our triggers and train our bodies to remain calm in the face of painful memories.

The book offers in-the-moment exercises on how to process difficult emotions and physical manifestations in order to to cultivate the inner resources necessary to deal with recurring memories of trauma. When we are triggered, Richo writes, "we are being bullied by our own unfinished business." Explore what your body's knee-jerk reactions can teach you. Triggers: How We Can Stop Reacting and Start Healing acts as a guide to your body's powerful responses, helping you to remain calm under pressure and discover the key to emotional healing.

SO Good

This was not a book that I was looking for; however, it was exactly what I needed to hear at this point in my life. This book just showed up in my recommended listenings and it is an incredibly insightful book that offers applicable tools to finally understanding and working to dismantle one’s reactionary triggers! Thank you David Richo, you have offered me much to ponder.

Great resource

I really liked this resource for dealing with triggers. While I was interested in learning more about the science of triggers and nervous system regulation tips, I ended up discovering a lot more. There is a lot of science and psychology in this book. This book is also beautifully written with many quotes from poets, philosophers, writers, artists, and world religions. It does lean towards the concept of a higher power- so it might not be for everyone.
