Book Synopsis

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
