How to Help Your Client Manage Their Emotional Triggers with Practical Skills They Can Use in Real Time

When clients get triggered, it can set off a chain reaction of emotional overwhelm and reactivity.

So how do we help clients shift out of this difficult cycle when their nervous system starts to rev up (or shut down)?

First, we need specific strategies that can keep clients from becoming overwhelmed when difficult emotions get triggered.

Then we have to help clients learn how to interrupt powerful behavior-trigger-reward loops.

From there, we have to address the emotional triggers left behind from trauma and attachment wounds.

Most importantly, we have to help clients carry this work out into the real world so that they can function more fully and effectively.

That’s why we got together with 26 top experts and asked for their best strategies for working with clients’ emotional triggers. For the first time ever, all their expert insights have been gathered in one place . . .
