The Trigger Journal & Workbook

A 35-page guided journal for understanding your triggers, your trauma responses, and what helps you feel safe again.

When we're talking about triggers in mental health, we usually mean a person, place, topic, thought, feeling, item, memory, or thing that sets off a trauma response.

In a broader definition, a trigger can also be anything that causes a stress response or an intense emotional reaction like depression or anxiety.

I feel like it's important to talk about both. They both have an impact on our mental health, and that's what this journal is all about.

The first part of the journal focuses on what situations most often cause trauma. Then we move on to what a response to trauma looks like, the physical and emotional signs that are most common.

Next, we build on that foundation to discover what things become triggers, and how those triggers may be external (things outside of us like people or objects) or internal (thoughts, memories, and feelings).

After that, we move into 32 journaling prompts that focus on the stories behind what triggers you, the things that make you feel more vulnerable, and also the things that make you feel safe.

Triggers often pull us into a fight, flight, freeze, or fawn response before we even know what's happening, which is why getting to know yours is a kind of nervous system literacy. The information in this journal will help you gain a better understanding of your triggers and how they fit into the big picture of your life and your relationships.

Because working through triggers can bring up stress or trauma responses, I really encourage you to work through this with your therapist, mental health professional, or a strong support system.
