Synopsis

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.

WOW. This has to be my favorite self-help/healing book I've ever read--and I've read a lot. I particularly love how this one incorporates ideas from Buddhism rather than Christianity, so that helped me relate to the material and I know I'll be able to utilize the tips he gives. That being said, I d......more

This book is a must read! Vital in helping to understand more about ourself and others. This is the kind of things we should be teaching our children So we can become better human beings. Today, thanks to neuroscience – and more specifically, research on brain plasticity — we are aware that we can rep......more

Wow! Тот случай, когда хочется прослушать книгу снова сразу после того как дослушала до конца. Я буду не раз возвращаться к этому опусу, чтобы усвоить и осознать всё, что в ней говорится. Я чувствую себя Мадам Триггер! И нет, я так чувствовать себя больше не хочу. Очень корректно и уважительно сформ......more

Goodreads review by J C on August 04, 2020

Some interesting points to consider, but the underlying thought processes put me off. Within the first five pages you realise that females are the objects of obsession, or abuse, or they are strident when they set boundaries, and males are the abusers, the ones who can learn, if they are good, to te......more
