Author of WE DON'T NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS: What If I'm the Terrorist?
A practical book about self-sabotage, emotional hijacking, truth, repair, and learning to stop negotiating with the part of you that trades long-term self-trust for short-term relief.
The Book
WE DON'T NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTSWhat If I'm the Terrorist?
The “terrorist” is not literal. It is the emotionally reactive part of us that hijacks our choices under pressure — the part that avoids, rescues, performs, hides, overreacts, or shades the truth to get short-term relief.
The book gives readers a practical framework, DISARM, for catching the hijack in the moment and choosing the secure response instead.

About
About Audi Garner
Audi Garner writes about emotional self-leadership, self-sabotage, relationship repair, and the patterns that keep capable people from trusting themselves.
His work grew out of his own experience with early emotional inconsistency, abandonment wounds, rescuing patterns, professional validation, and a marriage moment that forced him to stop managing reactions and start standing in the full truth.
He is the creator of the DISARM framework and is developing reader tools around self-trust, emotional hijacking, and repair.
Audi has spent more than two decades in business and leadership, where he has seen how emotional patterns shape communication, trust, decision-making, and performance.
