About this listen

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.

Love this book. Had multiple Ahh-ha moments throughout.

The content only let down by the droll way it is narrated. Quotes & headings roll into paragraphs.

But overall still happy to have learned from this book.

An excellent exploration of a subject that can be challenging to face however when one does in this book the rewards are immense because it delves into its subject with plenty of humanity along with beautiful writing. Excellent.

Profound.

Some slight pauses at the end of sentences, paragraphs, and chapters would have made for easier listening.

I'll be actively avoiding any audio books narrated by Paul Brion. It was completely monotonous from start to finish, so I found I had to concentrate really hard just to not drift off into other thoughts.
Aside of the performance, the content was basically an enormous collection of facts and lists, of little use to someone who actually wants to learn how to be triggered less. There may have been some good stuff in there, but I likely missed it among the dull, machine-like narration of the book.

A very tough listen
