Why That Gets Under Your Skin: Decoding Your Emotional Triggers and Responding with Intention

di Simmons Patrick (Autore)

epubli, 2025

Emotional triggers hijack your nervous system in seconds, turning small comments or situations into overwhelming reactions that damage relationships, sabotage goals, and leave you feeling out of control . This book provides a practical framework for identifying your specific emotional triggers, tracing them back to their origins, and developing the capacity to respond consciously instead of reacting automatically . Readers will learn why certain words, behaviors, or situations provoke disproportionate responses, how past experiences create present-day sensitivities, and the difference between acknowledging triggers and blaming others for your emotional state . It covers essential practices including mapping your personal trigger landscape, recognizing early warning signs before full activation, creating pause between stimulus and response, and communicating your triggers to others without making them responsible for managing your emotions . Through self-inquiry exercises, regulation techniques, and real stories from people who transformed reactivity into responsiveness, you will understand how to work with your nervous system instead of fighting it, heal old wounds that keep triggering present reactions, and build emotional resilience that allows difficult moments without complete derailment . This is not about never feeling triggered—it is about understanding why it happens and reclaiming choice in how you respond instead of being controlled by automatic patterns .
