Why Tracking Triggers?
We live in a time when stress, disconnection, and unprocessed emotion ripple through our relationships. Left unexamined, triggers hijack our nervous systems, close down curiosity, and keep us trapped in patterns of hurt. Your triggers aren't signs of weakness. They're sacred signals pointing you back to wholeness. This book teaches you to track triggers like a wilderness tracker follows faint signs in the dust, learning to meet reactivity with responsiveness.
Who Is This Book For?
This book is for you if you find yourself overreacting and regretting it later, getting stuck in the same relational conflicts despite your best intentions, or wanting to transform your relationship with emotions rather than just manage them. It's for anyone who is ready to learn how to deal with emotional triggers, meet discomfort without collapse, attack, or avoidance, and willing to follow the track of their own reactivity back to steadiness.
How Is This Book Being Written?
My emotional triggers book is being written the way it’s meant to be used: slowly, reflectively, and in relationship. Triggers in relationships are some of the most common reasons for emotional reactions. Chapters are drafted, tested, revised, and refined over time, shaped not only by years of mediation and teaching but by a small group called the Inner Trackers, early readers tracking alongside the process. Some offer reflections. Others simply read. Both matter. This approach allows the book to remain grounded in lived experience rather than polished theory, so what emerges is something you can actually use when it counts.
About John Ford
From the creator of The Empathy Set®For over thirty years, John Ford has taught mediators and practitioners how to track emotional patterns much like wilderness trackers read signs in the landscape, attending closely to what is present rather than forcing premature solutions. He is a workplace mediator, a negotiation and mediation instructor, and the author of Peace at Work: The HR Manager’s Guide to Workplace Mediation. His work draws on decades of practice in organizational conflict, emotional literacy, and relational decision-making. The approach developed through this work has been distilled into a practical framework for recognizing the body’s signals, regulating the nervous system, naming feelings and needs, integrating insight, and choosing conscious response over protective reaction. This is not theory. It is field-tested practice, shaped by hundreds of mediations, trainings, and real-world conflicts offered to help people meet moments of reactivity with greater clarity, courage, and care. Now, he shares his journey with the world.
