Understanding Your Triggers

Understanding Your Triggers: Reclaim Control, Not Reactivity

There are moments when something small a tone, a look, a memory can stir up something big inside. That sudden rush of emotion isn’t weakness; it’s wisdom. Your body is speaking the language of protection.

Understanding Your Triggers helps you decode that language. This self-guided workbook blends psychology, mindfulness, and somatic awareness to help you trace emotional reactions back to their roots, so you can respond with clarity rather than fear or defensiveness.

You’ll learn how to identify what’s underneath your reactions the beliefs, wounds, or unmet needs that fuel them and develop grounding practices to restore calm, safety, and self-trust.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Gentle psychoeducation on how triggers form in the brain and body

• Reflective journaling prompts to uncover emotional patterns

• A “trigger-to-truth” worksheet to help you reframe responses

• Somatic grounding tools for real-time regulation

• Guidance to transform reactivity into mindful awareness

This isn’t about suppressing emotions, it’s about learning from them. When you understand your triggers, you gain the power to choose how you show up in moments that used to overwhelm you.

Perfect for: those ready to heal from emotional reactivity, strengthen self-awareness, and create emotional safety from the inside out.
