"Most people think of love as a feeling," says David Richo, "but love is not so much a feeling as a way of being present." In this audiobook, Richo offers a fresh perspective on love and relationships - one that focuses not on finding an ideal mate, but on becoming a more loving and realistic person. Drawing on the Buddhist concept of mindfulness, How to Be an Adult in Relationships explores five hallmarks of mindful loving and how they play a key role in our relationships throughout life.

Story
Our "shadow" side comes to the surface in relationships more than anywhere else. The good news is that when we recognize and understand that we can work with our tendency to project our shadow onto those with whom we're in relationship, we can release ourselves from the habit to hurt or control one another, and we can tame our retaliatory impulses.

If you've ever had a vague sense that something's missing from your life, congratulations. That longing for something better is a sign of being fully human, fully alive. But what's even more wonderful, according to Dave Richo, is that when you identify and carefully examine the things you long for - like love, meaning, freedom, happiness, and growth - not only do you discover deep truths about yourself but you also find that the things you long for were never really missing at all.

Do we stay in what we know? Or is it the right time to leave and make a change? In more than 50 years as a psychotherapist David Richo has been asked versions of this question more than any other, coaching countless people of all ages through agonizing decisions related to their partnerships, their career, their home, their faith. In Ready, he shares the deep wisdom we need to make these decisions—and feel confident in following through. The book looks at the mystery of timing, why we stay too long, why we leave too soon, and what it feels like when the timing is right.

Most people don't realize how much unresolved emotional pain they carry around. They don't know why they always feel depressed, anxious, victimized, or disappointed. They wonder why they keep making the same self-sabotaging impulsive decisions. These patterns often stem from their lost inner child, which carries a false narrative that has been on repeat since childhood.

Perhaps you've had one of those moments when everything, quite unexpectedly, simply falls into place; or, when you've been puzzling over an impossible question and - pow! - the answer suddenly arises, seemingly out of nowhere. These and other such experiences are not caused by our efforts. They are moments of grace, the gift dimension of life. Grace is generally associated with religion, but, as Dave Richo shows, you don't need to be religious to notice - and benefit from - this help from outside yourself that's being offered to you in every moment.

America has been the world leader in generating new mental health treatments and modern theories of the human psyche. We export our psychopharmaceuticals packaged with the certainty that our biomedical knowledge will relieve the suffering and stigma of mental illness. We categorize disorders, thereby defining mental illness and health, and then parade these seemingly scientific certainties in front of the world.

Shame. Just the word makes most people uncomfortable, and though we all feel shame, no one likes to acknowledge it. Why? Because shame is the most painful and destructive emotion we experience. It’s also designed to protect us. In Healing Shame, Sheila Rubin and Dr. Bret Lyon ask the question: What if your shame - that awful, overwhelming emotion - could work for you instead of sabotaging your well-being?

Publisher's Summary
Work with your triggers to find peace in the painful moments and lasting emotional well-being.
Psychotherapist David Richo examines the science of triggers and our reactions of fear, anger, and sadness. He helps us understand why our bodies respond before our minds have a chance to make sense of a situation. By looking deeply at the roots of what provokes us - the words, actions, and even sensory elements like smell - we find opportunities to understand the origins of our triggers and train our bodies to remain calm in the face of painful memories.
The book offers in-the-moment exercises on how to process difficult emotions and physical manifestations in order to to cultivate the inner resources necessary to deal with recurring memories of trauma. When we are triggered, Richo writes, "we are being bullied by our own unfinished business." Explore what your body's knee-jerk reactions can teach you. Triggers: How We Can Stop Reacting and Start Healing acts as a guide to your body's powerful responses, helping you to remain calm under pressure and discover the key to emotional healing.

Very informative!
I'm a therapist myself and I teach anger management. Even though I know many of the things that he talks about, I learned more details and more pertinent information to add to my knowledge to help me with my own life and with my clients. An excellent book! Great ideas to help us all!

This book I will keep and refer to as many people in my life as possible. I have finally figured out what I can do to prevent my trigger's from over coming my daily life. I am at the point in my life that I cannot go through a day without something triggering me and it is almost driving me crazy. My mental health is at stake, but now that I have these new ways to practice i can already see my life changing in front of my eyes. I am going to replay this book over and over and over.

Great book!!!
Degrees of anger and fear have hamstrung me in areas of my life for far too long. This book is a useful source that I will continue to go back to for mindfulness of my triggers and the strategies available to defeat them. The only negative I have is I wish there was a PFF outline that accompanied this audio book. There were terms, phrases, and memory aids that I will have to go back and look for in the audio version of this book which will most likely be cumbersome. Again, overall great book!!!

Well-researched, precise, and very helpful
Listening through this _was_ triggering as it pointed out aspects of my interactions with others that chafe in unexpected ways. I realized how much I operate from a series of triggers. Seeing them for what they are helps me manage them.
And Dr. David Richo nails these slippery definitions down immediate from the Foreword. I can see where my reactions are trigger-based and how I've managed them from an uninformed mindset. It's showing me where I can improve and has given me tools to take action in a variety of circumstances from a variety of uplifting resources.
Those resources come from every aspect of life, too. I heard many mention religion in other reviews—specifically Christianity. The prevalent thought was that these were "overly used" as a resource. Be mindful that they were sprinkled throughout along with many quotes from many other sources—including Buddha, Shakespeare, and Dostoyevsky.
The message is important, if not critical, to live in a world where we are constantly in each other's space. These quotes are there to establish that human context from history.

To the point!
Wonderful!! Descriptive of what is healthy and what is not. Great information, if you’re looking to define what is triggering you, where the responsibility lies, and specific solutions. One of the best books I’ve read for self-help.

Really nice surprise
Fantastic book and a very nice surprise . I read some reviews Ana wasn’t sure but Whoever is badmouthing clearly isn’t ready to receive the message . I purchased this book because I wanted to be less reactive to things and stop being so fear based . This book had not just topics of how to avoid triggers but how to have healthy relationships, what defines self sabotage , what defines healthy relationships and love , how childhood issues affect our adult hood decisions, our ability to choose , transcend , how to be more evolved , more awake and feel like creators of our reality so we can contribute to this world once we heal . Very thorough book with a great combination of psychology , spiritual and science based ways to help us interpret our triggers and find our life purpose .
If your trying to stop feeling wronged and just want to love and find more peace from within I recommend you read this .
