Do you ever feel triggered by your partner's behavior?




 




(No? Just me? ?)




 




Many parents who join the Taming Your Triggers workshop sign up for help navigating their children's behavior...and then once they're inside they confess that their partner's behavior is even more triggering than their child's.




 




As you might imagine, many of the participants in the Taming Your Triggers workshop are women. (Classic patriarchy at work: caregiving is women's work, and so is managing the emotional climate of the family, so why does a male partner in a cisgender, heterosexual relationship need to bother?)




 




So I've been especially glad to see that more and more men are taking the workshop - and last time around we also had several couples participating together.
