The Trigger Map — A Reflective Workbook for Parents

Sale Price: $27.00 Original Price: $29.00

Every parent has at least one child, or one behaviour, that gets under their skin faster than anything else. It's rarely about what's actually happening in the moment — it's a doorway into something older.

The Trigger Map is a guided, OT-informed workbook that helps you trace your reactions back to their root: what's happening in your body, the story you're telling yourself, the childhood experiences it connects to, and what your child's behaviour might be asking of you that an old part of you never got.

This isn't about shaming your reactions — it's about getting curious about them, so you can respond instead of react, repair instead of avoid, and give your children a different inheritance than the one you may have received.

Inside, you'll work through:

  • What's happening in your body in a trigger moment

  • Naming and unpacking a real recent moment

  • The story underneath the behaviour

  • Tracing the pattern back to your own childhood

  • Whose voice shows up when you react

  • The unmet need underneath your hardest triggers

  • A repair script you can make your own

  • A practical, realistic regulation plan

  • Two reusable Trigger Log pages for ongoing practice

Instant digital download (PDF). Print at home or fill in digitally.

This workbook is a reflective tool and does not replace individual therapy or medical care. If it brings up material that feels heavy or overwhelming, please reach book a direct parental coaching session or contact your GP.
