Triggers: How We Can Stop Reacting and Start Healing Free Audiobook Download by David Richo

David Richo wrote Triggers: How We Can Stop Reacting and Start Healing in 1996. This audiobook discusses how to stop reacting to triggers and start healing.

These triggers can include family members, work-related stressors, or even a sexual assault. In this audiobook, you'll learn about tips for identifying your triggers and suggestions on how to avoid them by changing your perspective on them.

Delving into the neurological and psychological landscape of human emotions, Triggers explores how we can stop reacting and start healing. David Richo's comprehensive work includes an easy-to-follow guide to understanding and healing from triggers, as well as ten trigger patterns.

When one of our triggers is activated, we are automatically put in a form of fight or flight. This not only causes us to lose trust and believe that life will always be like this, it also causes the startle reflex which results in tensing the muscles that control our heart beat and breathing. Although there is a temporary response to this event, usually stress hormones are released and then cortisol gets released when it senses the imbalance in our body; causing more harm than good.

The book is a first hand account of the author's own personal experience with trauma and how he was able to overcome it. It teaches us that we all have triggers, but that by taking control of them, and not letting them control us, we can achieve peace.
