**A Therapy-Tested, Real-World Approach to Defusing Anxiety and Anger
Reactions
**
At home, at work, or even out shopping, we've all experienced a moment
when we've gone from feeling just fine to feeling out of control.
Something inside us shifts. We instantly feel hurt, angry, shut down, or
frozen. In these moments, we've been triggered, according to therapist
and bestselling author Susan Campbell. In From Triggered to Tranquil,
she offers a no-blame approach to conflicts and misunderstandings,
empowering us to explore triggers and trauma responses and use these as
portals to growth and self-compassion. This accessible, timely, and
useful book includes:
- five steps to "trigger mastery" that can be applied to any
interpersonal relationship or encounter
- specific techniques for relationships with spouses, partners,
children, bosses, coworkers, and friends, as well as a chapter for
group facilitators
- ways to address triggers related to politics, racism, climate change,
and other hot-button issues
