That is usually handled as a trigger control issue. A smooth press on the trigger with only the trigger finger moving to a surprise break avoids anticipating recoil.

And these days we use "trigger press" rather than "squeeze." We've found that when people hear the word "squeeze" they think of squeezing the whole hand and often do so unconsciously. The use of "press" helps guide their thinking in lines of only the trigger finger moving.
