What is “The Triggered World”?

We live in a volatile world. If you’re not careful, you might meet enemies around every corner.

Welcome to The Triggered World. Your enemies are not really waiting in the dark to pounce. You don’t really need to be “triggered” at every post, comment, person, issue, or current thing. There’s a lot of triggering stuff out there. You get to decide whether or not to live in a triggered state.

Why subscribe?

I write about the parts of life that “trigger” us - the things we have no control over but that seem to have control over us. Why do we react the way we do? What can we do about it? And what can we pass on to the next generation of children? My topics include education, childhood, music, psychology, trauma, neuroscience, religion, recovery, and sometimes poetry.

You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Free subscribers receive every new addition to my Substack directly to your inbox, as well as access to my archives. Paid subscribers receive access to my poetry. Become a Founding Member and get some free merch, starting with my own book of poetry, Five Thousand Syllables.
