The Secret to Conflict-Proof Communication
- Build whole and healthy relationships that can weather life's storms
- Learn how to keep your heart open to those around you--even when you disagree
- From a licensed clinical psychologist

There is a moment that repeats itself over and over again in your relationships--it's the moment you're triggered to flip from connection mode into protection mode. This moment is the unseen source of all disconnection and conflict. However, it happens so quickly and unconsciously most of us feel powerless to choose connection. The Road Less Triggered will empower you to:
- quickly disrupt your defensiveness
- turn inner turmoil into inner peace
- connect with clarity, curiosity, and compassion

Through a powerful blend of psychology, spirituality, real-world examples, and practical exercises, clinical psychologist Dr. Kelly Flanagan illustrates in actionable detail the process through which you can free your relationships from the patterns that imprison them. Can you imagine uninterrupted peace with your partner? Kids who leave home but also love to return? Friendships that deepen instead of dwindle? Ruptured relationships restored to their highest potential? A professional life freed from personal hang-ups? All those rewards and more lie just ahead of you, down the road less triggered.
