Triggered to Heal

About this book

We all know the feeling of something small that happens, and suddenly we are overwhelmed, shut down, or flooded with emotions. What feels "too much" in the moment is often more than just the present; it is the past pressing in. When the past interrupts the present through a word, a sound, an image, or a memory, that is a trigger. It is the body remembering what the mind tries to forget. In Triggered to Heal: An Invitation to Feel Fully and Heal Deeply, Amanda Ligon, LMSW, courageously shares her journey through childhood abuse, exploitation, and domestic violence. She reveals how trauma lives in the body, how triggers can awaken hidden pain, and how feeling fully can lead to profound healing. Anchored in faith and informed by her clinical expertise, Amanda shows that even the deepest wounds can become doorways to transformation. This book is both a testimony and an invitation to face your triggers, feel what you've buried, and reclaim the life you were always meant to live.Continue your healing journey with Triggered to Heal Workbook: 16 Sacred Practices to Heal Deeply, where Amanda shares the tools and practices that carried her from survival to wholeness and that can help you do the same.
