Getriggert?

Every day we communicate with others, but we often find ourselves suddenly irritated by statements, remarks, or insinuations, a phenomenon known as being "triggered." This can negatively impact communication and ultimately the relationship with the other person. Common tips often fall short because they don't address the deeper issues. Effective communication requires us to first gain access to ourselves and understand how we operate and what triggers us.

Psychologist and couples therapist Anouk Algermissen, known from her successful podcast on couple psychology, shares her expertise and experiences from her counseling practice in this book. Through numerous real-life examples, she demonstrates how we can explore our own feelings, regulate our emotions, and thus create a foundation for calm communication that strengthens our relationships in the long run.
