Softening the Triggers: 80 Gentle Returns to Awareness, Safety, and Self-Love

By Michael Patrick

Softening the Triggers

80 Gentle Returns to
Awareness, Safety, and Self-Love

is not a book to rush through-
but a companion to return to
whenever you feel pulled from yourself.

Whether your reaction is loud or quiet, explosive or frozen, this book gently meets you in the middle of your trigger-with tenderness, not judgment.

Inside are 80 poetic reflections, each one followed by a Softening Reminder and a simple Compassion Practice. Together, they offer moments of pause, pathways back to safety, and daily invitations to return to love.

This is not a book about fixing yourself.
It's about staying near the parts of you that hurt
-and loving them back into wholeness.

Perfect for sensitive souls, trauma survivors, or
anyone seeking nervous system support without pressure,
this book is a gentle hand to hold through the storm.

You don't have to be perfect to be present.
You don't have to be healed to be loved.
Even in the middle of the trigger-
you are already enough.
