You’re not Triggered, You’re Dysregulated: Managing the Nervous System After Trauma
Dysregulation is often referred to as being triggered or upset. Quite often people who are unaware of their dysregulation are angry, explosive, or they might shut down or be overly emotional. Dysregulation can be exaggerated by difficult past experiences - especially in childhood. It is also useful to understand that dysregulation is the CORRECT expression of a properly functioning nervous system - everyone can become dysregulated at times.
There's even better news - you're NOT broken! The body has natural ways that it self-regulates, and you can easily learn and employ these strategies to help get the body in a calm, relaxed state so that you can start to feel better.
This book might be for you if you The feeling of dysregulation can be described as a feeling of panic, fear, or overwhelm. Stress can be toxic to the body, and can even become a neurotoxin if cortisol is left unchecked.
This book will give you easy-to-use, and easy-to-understand methods of regulating the nervous system and a better understanding of why and how they work. Learn more

You’re Not Triggered, You’re Dysregulated is the book I wish someone had handed me years ago. It’s short, clear, and completely life-changing. Instead of rehashing trauma or diving into dense clinical talk, the book gets straight to the point — explaining why your body keeps reacting even when your brain knows you’re safe.
This isn’t another “what happened to you” book. It’s for the people who already know what happened and are ready to actually just feel better. Colomy breaks down the nervous system in a way that feels empowering instead of overwhelming. Every page delivers something practical — things you can actually use the same day to calm your system and start regulating.
If you’ve ever finished a big trauma book and thought, okay, but now what? — this is the “now what.” A perfect, accessible guide for anyone healing from CPTSD, burnout, or chronic stress. I highlighted half the book.
Highly recommend for trauma survivors, neurodivergent readers, and anyone who’s tired of overthinking their pain and finally ready to live a calmer life.
